Re: Lets be real, Leave it Alone method is the only one with any conclusive evidence that it works to some degree

MikePylon,

Good to hear someone new on here.

I too got this from trauma. I got it from lip biting.

And I too believe that letting it heal is the most plausible treatment at this point. And after about a year of different tests and treatments, and seeing all of the results or lack there of, this wound theory does make the most sense.

But as far as leaving them alone and putting nothing on them, I dont think this is the most effective way.

I believe that leaving them alone causes more trauma and tension on the skin and also wounds are known to heal better with moisture.

I tried it for about 3 months and saw VERY little progress. Myself and a few other on here are currently doing wound treatments that consist of keeping them constantly moist and also using some topical wound healing ointments.

So far most of us have seen some improvement. I would say that in the 3 weeks I have been doing this treatment, I have seen a similar amount of results that I did in the 3 months of leaving them alone. Not to mention that leaving your lips alone is hell.

Anyways good luck and keep us posted on any treatment you do. Tweet
