Have you gone to an allergist? I have been dealing with peeling chapped lips for years. Just a few weeks ago, I finally decided to go to an allergist. Turns out I’m suffering from an oral allergy syndrome, where most of the vegetables and fruit I was eating was causing allergic reactions that manifested in my lips. It was a rather difficult transition at first because I found out I was allergic to simple things like potatoes and corn and on top of that I had the cross reactions to many vegetables and fruits. I was a vegetarian, so obviously my diet had to change dramatically. I’m not ...

Hey, so I have never joined these forums before now, and decided I only would if I found a cure. And so I have found huge improvements- enough to say i am most of the time cured. I’m pretty sure EC isn’t something on your lips...all those crazy ideas like putting soap and whatnot on your mouth isn’t likely to help I think, but you never know. Anyway, my cure has been from the inside. I want to keep this short so I’ll try so sum up the curing process. Almost a year ago I took an allergy test and found I had a whole bunch of food allergies. Some were minor and some were large, but alm ...

Just saying, I am still cured. I get chapped lips now and then, but there is no 2-5 day peeling cycle. It’s been several months now. Good luck.   [End]

I’ve had Exfoliative Cheilitis for 3 years and have tried most methods mentioned on this forum. I’ll spare you the list of all the crazy things I did.

(#2) I quit drinking all forms of alcohol. (#3) I started drinking Vitamin D whole milk with or without cereal. (#4) I avoided letting any form of ”oil” touch my lips. (#5) (Optional) I started using medicinal marijuana daily as opposed to my previous ...

Hello everyone, I promised I would make a post with pictures to prove that this condition can be cured and now is the time! I developed EC in October 2010 from using a toothpaste called Rembrandt for Canker sores. No, my EC was NOT caused by chapstick, blistex, vaseline, or anything like that. However, I do believe that some of you may have triggered your EC with such products if you are either A. allergic to them or B. addicted to using them (like Dr. Oz said in the recent post). When I developed this condition I didn’t automatically connect it to the toothpaste I was using. I did, howev ... [Image Embedded Here]
