Re: Guys!! I left my lips alone for a month I can see improvements !!

Healing2021, it's been a long time that you didn't post in this forum! If your tried the leave alone method with no moisture, the inflammation will increase at first, causing more crusts to form. But once you put on the steroid for one full week, the inflammation disappears completely. Then crusts will be a bit thinner and stay on longer. The lips will not be as dry as they were before and by the end of the first month, you will see new layers of skin on the areas that were previously raw. At least this is what happened for me. I have to say that my top lip does not crack or bleed and it has improved a lot compared to the bottom lip. Sometimes the bottom lips crack open but it does not bleed anymore. Those areas would take longer to heal. If we consider EC a wound, then inflammation would be the first phase of healing. I hope you'll find the method which works best for you. And do not worry cause EC is not a chronic disease. Soon or later, we'll get healed ;)
