A friend of mine had this and used a saturated solution of borax topically with a little food grade vegetable glycerine in it to get rid of it within a week. The glycerine is a humectant and tends to help attract moisture to the area of application to help prevent over dry skin that can crack and add to the discomfort. The EC has not returned.

Exfoliative cheilitis is often times a symptom of a fungus or other systemic issue that should also be taken care of in order to help prevent future issues.

When I had systemic candida all those years ago I also had both eczema and psoriasis issues. I had these skin problems for about 15 years before I had my serious candida issues, always there.

After my candida problems were all cured using my protocol I also realized that both my longterm psoriasis and eczema issues were both gone. That's when I concluded that these skin problems were probably fungal or at least they must have had a direct and close relationship with my primary candida issues. Also, after 11 years, these skin problems have never returned. By the way, doctors will always insist that psoriasis cannot be cured. They also seem to believe that psoriasis can be an indicator of future cancer. But I think that they've got the wrong pony. From all I've said above, it isn't psoriasis indicative of future cancer, it's our old friend candida that seem to be the real cancer-causing culprit.

I've also discovered another interesting way of using of borax topically. I was reading through some of Ted's writings on this site (as I always do) and came across a very useful suggestion for topical borax use.

I cannot remember exactly what the problem was other than it was a fairly serious skin problem. Ted suggested that you make a paste by combining borax and 3% hydrogen peroxode. You then rub it thickly over the infected or injured skin site so that it covers the affected skin area completely. Leave it on, uncovered (no dressing) for 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to be absorbed into the skin and dry out. Then wash it off. Ted mentioned that when you add the HP it acts on the borax to make it more absorbable by the skin. He also mentioned that adding HP to borax makes it more powerful. As well, you have the benefit of both borax, which kills bugs, fungus and mycoplasma and certain bacteria and you also have hydrogen peroxide which has a much wider pathogen kill capability as well. This is a very powerful combination in other words.

Three weeks ago I was bitten by a tick. I know this because a small red circle appeared around the bite. And before anyone jumps up and screams "OMG Lyme disease!! " -- no it wasn't a lyme tick. You will always get a red circle around any tick bite and my red circle wasn't expanding. There are also no recorded Lyme infections or Lyme sufferers in the Philippines.

But I was still worried about the tick bite because it was irritating my skin and wouldn't go away. It wasn't healing in other words. I was also worried about sub-dermal tick eggs. So, after a shower, I applied Ted's remedy, except I went a bit extreme. I poured about a teaspoonful of borax in the palm of my hand and added a little 3% hydrogen peroxide. What I was trying to do was make a saturated solution of borax/HP. Then I applied the paste carefully over the area. I applied the paste thickly and it stayed "wet" for quite a while. I did not cover the area or apply a dressing. I left the HP/borax on my skin for about 4 hours. Then I washed it off. I repeated this same procedure the next day and left it at that. So I only did this twice.

The results for the above protocol were excellent. The tick bite area started healing straight away, the small red ring and the strange red pimples on my skin all disappeared quickly and the dry rough skin within the red circle has become smooth and healthy again. To ensure correct skin healing without scars or lesions I also applied povidone iodine to the skin area for about 3 days.

I only mention the above topical borax/HP remedy because it has such a wide and impressive pathogen/parasite kill capability. This simple treatment combo should be able to kill bugs, viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, mycobacteria and fungus. So my final suggestion would be to perhaps try it topically as a paste for other skin problems like Exfoliative Cheilitis, Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, Lichen Planus etc.

I have used the topical HP/borax remedy as well as all of Ted's other remedies for psoriasis listed on EC, but I do not believe my psoriasis is fungal based and it definitely was not responsive to those remedies. I even wrote to him in the hope that he might have other ideas for me to try, but he never answered me. It seemed to me that all of Ted's psoriasis remedies were based on the idea that psoriasis is fungal based and I would agree that fungus may be the reason for psoriasis in some people but not all. I have had psoriasis for decades and have experimented with well over a hundred remedies and was finally able to find a combination of remedies that worked to clear my skin that was about 90% covered in four different types of psoriasis. Here is a link to my story and what worked for me:

It took me many years and a lot of reading and experimenting, but I was finally able to get to 100% clear!

It might also be worth mentioning that there has been some interesting recent research on the huge importance of the human microbiome -- the good bacteria in our gut that helps to protect and feed us. It seems that a poor or weak microbiome can cause both physical diseases as well as mental diseases.

In one older research study in 1933, which involved 60 people with clinical depression, they all had fecal transplants to see if this procedure would help. After two months they were medically re-examined and it was found that 70% were now happy normal people.

But don't get too excited about this. There's more.

In another more recent and much publicized study from UK, there was a famous woman athlete who contracted c. difficile. She was advised by her doctor that she should have a fecal transplant to cure this condition. The woman athlete was very fit and had little fat on her body. She received the fecal transplant from her cousin. After two months the woman athlete was examined again and it was found that her c. difficile had completely cleared up. But she was 32 pounds overweight. She said that no matter how hard she exercised or dieted, she just could not get rid of her excess weight. Oddly, the cousin who had donated her feces for the fecal transpalnt was also 30 something pounds overweight.

For me the above evidence goes way deeper than just having the wrong microbiome will make you fat.To me it also suggests or implies that an immune impaired lower intestine, which has the wrong microbiome, is wide open to housing pathogens in a body region that is all but unreachable by such a weak local immune system. This would perhaps offer a good starting point for researchers to start curing autoimmune disease(read: your immune system is attacking you!! ) or idiopathic disease(read: we haven't got one damn clue what's causing this problem).

I'm simply suggesting that a whole raft of diseases or issues like depression, CFS, Autism, Dementia, Metabolic Syndrome, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis etc may well have there pathogenic starting point and breeding region in the lower intestines. I would also naturally include both candida and psoriasis in this list as well.
