Re: Leaving them alone (healing blog - updated weekly)

11th WEEK 22/07/16

Ok I worked out I missed 7 updates. Two were because I was away on holiday and the other 5 was because I got sidetracked and stopped updating this. While on holiday I used the calendula ointment which stops the peeling but does not really aid in healing.

For the past 1.5weeks I have been applying steroid ointment 0.5% called Eumovate.

Here is a before and after picture taking in the morning, one before brushing teeth, the other after.





I like to think that some of the vertical lines are developing, a littler deeper.

The yellowing is basically age. Some of the scabs have been on over a week. The middle part of the bottom lip peeled yesterday after the shower which is why it's not yellow.

This ointment is helping in disguising the scabs. I only need to apply it in the evening after brushing, and perhaps in the afternoon if I go out. I'm not sure if I am making progress this.

+ I am applying nothing except the steroid ointment at this time. Tweet
