no... chronic inflammation is there because the lips never healed.
When you think inflammation.. you think pain, swelling, blood etc... That is acute inflammation. Thats easy to get rid of... Use cortisol lol but you get the side effect. Chronic inflammation is proinflammatory cytokines that prevent healing.
that is why turmeric can slow down chronic inflammation and Melatonin can slow down the cortisol side effects.
