A member asked:
Ive been picking my lips for years and now they are scarred. are there any treatments for cosmetic purposes of making the sores and scars look better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plastic surgery: I have not heard of any oral or topical medications that will help, though liquid Vitamin E has been proposed for such things in the past. I suspect seeing a plastic surgeon would be necessary.
