Oh no! Disaster has struck! Exfoliative cheilitis.

Hi!

Here I am thinking I am doing other people a favor and it turns out to be a mess. I have written about this propolis product that is still keeping my exfoliative cheilitis under control. It flares up a bit now and then with some peeling but I very seldom have cracks or red, irritated skin around the lips anymore. However I was approached by a desperate person wanting to know about this cure and when I tried to link it to her it was not there anymore. Help! I still have a reserve bottle but the current one is almost finished. I am going to look very hard for an alternative and I will see if I can contact the original seller. Hang in there, if I find something I will post!


I am going to try this one: Propolis honey paste but I cannot say anything about it until I have tried it.

Exfoliative cheilitis update; I have found a cure!

Hi!  Much has happened since my last post in this area.  I have had an allergy test ( 4 days with 2 large stickers on your back, no needles thank god) but was not allergic to anything (strange, I can think up some things though. Dishwashing liquid. Boring speakers. Delayed trains. A bank which cannot take cash. Anything which will put up my spikes.) I have been trying this product for a week now: APV Tentorium. (sorry no pic anymore, it is no longer sold online) ..... and it is working! It started working directly the second day, and although it goes slowly, by now I am not peeling anymore! My lips are still slightly hard on the outside edges but it seems to be getting less every day. I have stopped using the Daktacort and my lips look completely normal. I apply two drops of the liquid twice a day, let it dry and then put a moisturizer over it (Debucal, calendula salve or aloe lip balm). A few weeks ago I had to use lipstick and foundation to cover up the mess. And

An unknown cause of misery: exfoliative cheilitis (chronic peeling & cracking of the lips)

Hi! Latest updates are added below ; about how it is going with my treatment trials. Check it out now-I  may have found something! Today 7th of April I am on a health topic that has kept me continuously busy for 7 months now and I have finally found out what it is. In November 2015 my lips suddenly started cracking and peeling.  I thought it was just the cold here in Sweden, but I have never had it before in the 6 winters I have experienced here and the 13 winters I lived in the Netherlands. I used a lipstick ( Lipfinity , great durability!) at the time which I had been using for several years. I stopped using the lipstick and bought lip balm. When it just got worse I bought other lip balms , I have I think about 7 of them. None worked. Even worse, the skin around the lips became red and itchy and irritated and it is hard not to bite or scratch at it, which of course makes it worse. In addition the inside of my mouth is very tender and it feels like there is a hair or th

Splitting nails

Hi! My yoga programme is still going strong. Doing 10-15 minutes first thing every morning really gets my energy levels up and my stress levels down. I wanted to take up another health problem. I have at times split nails, mostly the thumbs, and although it is a relatively small problem it can be very painful during a few days. I have done some research online; it is called onychoschizia and apparently it is very seldom due to a vitamin deficiency. If you have split nails on both hands and feet then it might be indicative of this. I do have two permanently split toe nails, but they are the second toes. They are the longest and therefore often the ones that I hit and they have the most pressure inside shoes. Therefore I think that with the toes it is a mechanical problem. Not only do the nails split (both vertically but also horizontally) but the skin in the corners sometimes also splits and this is also very painful. With the vertically split nails it is very painful when it
