My journey with exfoliating cheilitis

I suffered with this embarrassing illness for four years.

Day 1 of first cleaning the lips.

this involves peeling the thick crust. This could be anytime of day.

Day 7 of crust build-up.

This was actually worse that it looks. Sometimes the crust shed on its own as you can see some spots are pink. It turned my top lips black, because I could not let any form of liquid go near my mouth. It was a nightmare!

Day 4 of the crust rebuilding

This is a usually very painful. The lips become stiff and dry. I was difficult to drink any liquid. Eating was difficult. Smiling was very painful, and my life felt like it was constantly spiriling.

Days turned into months and years

Each day it gets worse, My lips were often red, sore and tight. I felt like I was living in someone else's body. My self esteem was gone. I had to keep my head down from shame and embarrassment.

Days turned into months and years

Each day came with its own challenge. No days were better than any. My lips often red, sore and tight. Some days when I was a work, I notice my coworkers staring at me, and before I realize it, my lips had started caking over, and when I run to the rest room, behold... this is what I saw.

Days turned into months and years

Each day it gets worse, In the last year of 2023, after trying everything, I finally began to try some herbs. I did everything from cleanse to worm medicine, to prayer, exercises, meditation and one day I began to notice a change. I began to chart all that I had taken that day, until, finally I able to pinpoint the remedy.

Me in 2024

All praises be to our Creator. it's been two years now since I free from this horrible condition. the Most High, Yahawah has been good to me. I can smile again. I can wash my face and drink liquid without the fear of the pain and agony. No more unsightly Cheilitis. No more holding down my head. No more wearing mask to hide my lips. I work in the health field, and even when corona virus was over, I was the only one still wearing a mask. Although the mask became my safe haven, there were days I could not wear it, because i would rub against my lips and added to the pain. This was a nightmare, and I am so happy that I have been delivered.

I am here as a living testimony to let you know that whatever you are going through, if you persevere, turn to herbal remedies and trust the Creator in the process, you are going to come out the victor.
