Re: new

Of course I care what people think, I feel this problem is holding me back in life that's what gives me the motivation to keep going.I've only had a couple of people (at work) say ' your lip looks bad, put some vasilne on it' .I'm not saying I leave it alone full stop - at some point you have do ease it off becuase at the end of the day the skin is exfoliating so it gets thicker and thicker.When I first started this method it was very hard because it would only take about 4 days before it was quite thick! now after 4 days you would not notice it!.I have adapted my lip into my lifestyle, it pretty much ended my relationship but I knew I had to do something about it, I just thought stop biting and it would heal up in a couple of months, little was I too know the hell that we all go through.If the lip is bad and I don't want to take the scab off then i'll lie to my friends and say I can't see them - stuff like that - humans can adapt to any situation - I organise my life around my lip at the moment, like when the scab is off I do as much as possible like seeing freinds, shopping ect...



Basically what I've found is that the less you touch it/put stuff on it ect.. the slower the exfoliating is. My lip does not peel ( I wish it did! ), it exfoliates but the dead skin stays stuck on the lip, that's why you get such a big scab. I can't see any other way of sorting the problem. If you had the problem on your leg would you continue to put creams on it? or would you leave it alone? Tweet
