I did not say Mike Pylon is just managing his EC. As far as I know he is cured since he does not have to apply anything to his lips or do any treatment to maintain results. I wonder how he is doing now? However, his EC was caused by irritation to lips (TCA chemical peel), which is not the same cause for others. So, I do not know if his treatment will only work for those whose EC was caused by irritation. You wrote today that your doctor said it may be harder to treat EC in those who had inflammation in lips for a long time. Mike Pylon recently got EC, though.
I am not assuming the 1950s treatment was a cure.since it healed 4 patients! We will never know if it can also help us unless we try.
I think it is BS to give up hope about a possible cure. My latest treatment finally got rid of that white line.
