Peeling skin from my lips and checks!

Guest over a year ago

I am having the same problem and I just realized I am using that same toothpaste. I think I will stop using it. The skin peeling drives me crazy because I chew on the corners of my lips. I hope switching toothpaste helps.

I don't know if you still come to this sight and check but I in last couple months was having problem with Mouth Shedding is what they call it when this happens in your mouth, the first thing associated with it, is did you eat some thing that you were allergic to. Or if you have food allergies or some other allergies like lactose free, beginnings of a latex allergy( which has a list of foods you might have a allergic reaction. Some things like Crohn Disease and other Diseases can cause your mouth to do this. If the doctor gives you a paper to get what they call four panel blood work for foods which was nuts, fruits, vegetables, and grains and you don't have any positives that great. I look at many website by looking under Mouth Shedding and most parts of the information are the same or mean the same thing. But all the sites recommended that you see a oral pathologist first if you can and if not a oral surgeon because they know what they are doing and looking for. Hope that if you every get this that it helps you out.

I noticed the peeling of my skin on the inside of my lips about one year ago, and it has gotten worse and worse over the last few month. I did everthing, like changing my toothpaste etc, but nothing helped. My dermatoligist sent me to an Oral surgeon, who did several biopsys, which turned out negative for anything. I'm getting desperate since no one really seems to know what the cause of this horrific peeling is.

Yeah I get it from any salt and vinegar chip. I swear off them then I forget and eat them and it's back. It makes my mouth feel numbish and then I get blisters and the peeling. I've been trying to use a good lip balm but it has to go away on its own.

My mouth problem started 5 years ago! First with a burning tongue and then it was like bits of pieces I was chewing on. Now my cheeks, upper and lower lip are sloughing off constantly. It never stops! I am chewing these bits all day long! I have been to a specialist and everything comes back normal. I have been told to use Tom's Toothpaste, but as soon as I brush my teeth my mouth is shedding so bad I can't stand it! I was saying to my husband after 5 years and no prognosis, I would rather them cut out my tongue than live with this! No one knows the answer! It is depressing!

Update from Deb: I am still fighting this battle! No prognosis! My tongue has deep, deep crevasses and the pieces coming off my cheeks and tongue are like soft plastic... hard to explain. I am going to try coconut pulling. Wish me luck because there is nothing else. I may die chewing! Still depressed, don't like to talk to anyone as my chewing does not stop even while talking! I sound like I have a speech impediment!

This is exactly my situation. Going on 6 years. 3 biopsies. No answers. I'm getting so depressed and so tired of living on Magic Mouthwash (lidocaine, Maalox and Benadryl).

Update: Coconut pulling did nothing!

The last time I saw my dentist, he told me he could not see my mouth peeling! What? He told me 3 years ago to chew gum! I have been chewing gum and it costs me about $85/month! Now I have lock jaw because of it! He now tells me to stop chewing gum!

Then the specialist he sent me to for the second time over a 3 year period, swabbed my mouth again and sent it away for biopsy and it came back normal! I have to wonder what they are checking for when they send it away? Maybe they should be doing a scrapping! I believe they are looking for cancer or abnormal cells! Well, I guess I should be happy it's not cancer, but it is depressing!

Three months ago I had an infected lymph node in my neck under my right jaw. No sore throat and no sinus infection! Was put on antibiotics and the infection cleared up but the lymph node is still large! I still have blood in my urine, so apparently, it means infection and more tests. There are so many kinds of infections. I wonder if this will come back related somehow? I am grasping at straws but with this many people having the same problem, you would think after 5 - 6 years, there would be an answer! God help us!

I c alot of ppl have this as well as myself. It just seems to stop when it's done. Doesn't seem yo hurt anything. Stop using mouthwashes n harsh toothpastes. Maybe do salt water rinses too or coconut oil. It might be our bodies refreshing themselves. We shed skin n hair, so y not in the mouth once in a while.

Omg Deb! Please stop chewing. Its just making new problems! I cant believe that was even a suggestion from a so called professional. Toms & coconut oil wouldve been my suggestion. Short lived attempts of either of those wont work. Youve gotta stick with it for probably at least a month. Honestly this sounds like a reaction to something or an imbalance of possibly hormones or body chemistry or maybe even an allergy! Doctors arent always helpful. I suggest trying a nutritionist and/or herbalist. You know, someone more into the natural balance of the body. Write a daily log of literally everything you eat/drink or come in contact with. It might not be 1 specific thing. You may need herbal treatments or maybe a natural & balanced diet. As aweful as this sounds, take comfort that others have same or similar problem. Also, ask what tests they run on you! They HAVE to tell you but only will if you ask. And then at least you can feel good knowing these terrible things are NOT something you have.
