Do Indentation And Discoloration On Upper Lip Heal Naturally Over Time Without Any Treatment?
Question: I have bitten and licked my upper lip for years and now I have a slight indentation and discoloration, will it heal naturally over time?
Brief Answer:
Most likely to heal naturally, upload the photograph of affected area.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to health care magic, I share your concern and I will try to help you out in best possible way.
Lips are highly vascular.i.e blood flow to lips are far greater than many parts of the body. Hence any scar formed over lips tend to heal naturally over time. However I will be in a better position to help you if you can upload the photo of affected are so that I can take a closer look and decide future course of action.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.

Brief Answer:
It will heal naturally.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome back.
After keenly observing the photographs, I am of the opinion that it is most likely to heal naturally. But you should regularly excoriate the skin on lips using any facial scrub available in market by massaging lips for 5 mins every night before sleep. Avoid cigarette smoking.
I hope this helps you.
