Update on lips!!!

so the vitamins helped slightly, but not so much. my lips are still a mess unfortanely, but here's what i've learned since:

I went to a dermatologist on Monday. i know the anguish of just wanting this to go away. She forcefully removed all of the skin with a damped cotton pad and i was furious with her cuz my lips were so red and swollen and i explained to her what happens with forceful removal. Then she did a biopsy. She injected the anesthesia into the lip and cut out a piece and stiched it up with some dissovable stictches.i've been gently rinisng my lips with salt water and applying Jamaican blackcastor oil to help control the swelling. she Prescibed some steriod cream to be used for 2 weeks but i've been reluctant to use steriods (Avantan ointmnent) as the one i used before didn't work. I got the analysis report back today and the diagnosis is lichen planus.I don't know how likely i am to try this steroid because i believe in healing from the inside instead of just putting something on the outside, maybe i'll just try a week?? thinking on it.

Got blood work done today and i was diagnosed with mild candida and vitamin B12 deficiency still. I was prescribed colostrum, grapefruit seed extract, vitamin b12 tablets, probiotics anti candida diet for 6 weeks to help boost my immune system. the doctor mentioned that the mold i came into contact with right before this started(did i mention this in my last post??? sorry if i didn't) contributed to this happening. It's a combonation of deficiencies, diet and mold exposure it seems.

Will keep updating and if i start to improve, post pics
