So when I brush my teeth or rinse my mouth basically wetting my lips properly I tend to see some white build up mainly and majorly on the lower lip that too inside part and bit on outside it's very thin and all but as soon as my lips dry like i need to gently press a soft cotton cloth to absorb that water and wait for like 2,3 mins and the. I just dab lil vaseline on it or I use my primecrolius there is no white build up at all like it disappears and lips feel totally normal functional like i can talk smile go on with just a dab of vaseline for like 3,4 hrs ( it I talk a lot a need to apply in like 2 to 3 hrs but ya )i only dab again if i wet my lips or something so idk if I am healing or not I need some responses , btw it's been 4 days since my lips peeled last time and i has that raw skin Edit : just rinsed my mouth it feels like almost as if there is a very very thin sheet of white layer on my lower lip now like i literally have normal vertical lines on my lips the part which peels also have some lines but it's less than the part which doesn't peel but I am afraid it's gonna peel from here too it's very thin but ya i believe it's gonna peel in 1 or 2 days 🥀🥀 although rn my lips look normal af I will share more after couple of days

i am 20 yr old btw one side of my beard has some patches compared to the other one

any of u experienced any injury in which the skin is scrapped or removed specially knees , after its removed like in couple of days a dark usually dark brown colored hard crust is formed over it which takes sometime to fall off and if we remove it forcefully the healing starts from scratch again , idk but i think ec is kinda similar like yk when we remove the dead skin the underneath lip skin is left raw which is the main problem as it definitely delays the healing , share ur own thoughts too

Any of u noticed the skin becoming a bit sticky after the white layer is removed ?

Ok so after doing constant moisturising for like 7 weeks and using elidel ( I started 30 mg b2 , 1200 MCG b12 , 30 mg iron , 15 mg zinc from last 3 weeks almost ) i noticed something that the inflammation part is reducing for me and I can say that by my lips doesn't sting if i don't apply elidel even for 2,3 days the inside part doesn't get instantly dry after talking for 5 mins , lips doesn't hurt while smiling, I can open my mouth wide without feeling a tightness in my lips so what else could be the driving factor like am i supposed to be patient here or what cause even though everything suggest the inflammation is reducing but the white build up is not reducing its like same from last 4 weeks i don't really see any reduction in that 🤧🤧 gonna visit a oral medicine specialist this month hoping for the best

edit ; i have a crossbite which has gotten bit worse in last 1 year or so

help

anyone of u had issues with ur gut and saw improvement in their lips after improving their gut health??? idk what kinda issues i have i need to get it checked but from last 2 years my gut health is like a graph sometimes good then suddenly off i get loose motions for no reason time to time by time to time i mean almost every month , the loose motions last for 2,3 days and this been happening for like atleast more than a year idk if this is a contributing factor or not .

Everywhere I read on the internet on how to apply vaseline it says apply it on slight damp skin and not dry skin so how much of that is it true? Should I start applying it on lips that are still kinda damp?

Ahm so I don't know from where to start but when I took moisturising my lips seriously from last 2,3 months the scabs the thick scabs i don't get them anymore like all I get is that small white build-up ahm actually I don't even know if the scabs are truly gone cause I am cleaning my lips pretty well and i clean that lil white build-up twice every day once in the morning once at night it's very Lil like the buildup u get when u sleep and wake up just that much I am eager to see if this actually works or not I am using benapthol like that one guy who showed his progress using brazillian method will update u guys later on ,

How do I get rid of this white build up though 😭 it ain't very much but still leaves my lips lil raw and kinda irritated my upper lip is almost healed only the inside part of my uppar lil gets some buildup specially in the morning rest of the lip is almost healed .

day after tomorrow is my dr appointment what should i say to him so he test my lips for any kinda infection

day after tomorrow is my dr appointment what should i say to him so he test my lips for any kinda infection

i am done with these dermats man i visited one more dermat he told me to test hsv 1 , igg and igm my igg came positive and igm negative i told him i dont have any symptoms like cold sores or blisters or anything and i dont think my lips peeling cause of this but he said if all the patients knows everything then there is no need of doctors so ya he gave me meds and all man its been 20 days now and my lips looks the same as they looked at day 1 instead the brazillian method made by lips look way better they make it way more lively and less inflammed how am i supposed to convince my mind to ever visit other dermat after such bad results from my previous experiences i think i have to diagnose this by myself , aghhh its damn frustrating

tried the brazillian method for just 1 week i wanna stick to it for atleast 2,3 months now

please share ur experiences with ec and whatever method helped u even a lil bit would really appreciate it .

everytime i take a bath and look myself in the mirror i feel damn miserable cause that soggy white filthy skin on my lips ruins my mind immediately , how am i supposed to feel good about my appearance if no matter what i do or try i will end up looking the same or even worse man i am just 19 this thing already took more than 2 years of my life how much more , this is draining me now , i am very irritated everyday cause of thisss aghhhh something help me man the dermats also seem to have no clue about it they be beating around the bush taking money and money talking all confident just for their medicines to do nothing at all. gonna start college next month and i am supposed to carry this insecurity there as well fuck man

The build up starts from inside of the lips or outside for u??
