Get tested for Sjögren’s or other autoimmune diseases!
Hello, I feel like I finally found a reason for my EC! I tested positive for Sjögren’s recently and my derm put me on antibiotics while I apply mupirocin since I have a staph infection. My lips aren’t healed, but they are definitely feeling less inflamed and I will be going to a rheumatologist to treat the underlying cause.
I highly recommend seeing a derm who specializes in inflammatory diseases to get blood work done or a rheumatologist because some of us (not saying all cases) truly have underlying health problems that is causing chronic EC.
