DESPERATE to remove, but broke :(
Hello friends, my name is Richard (19) and I have been suffering from a
mucocele on the left side of my bottom lip for 4 months now. I believe
it was caused by my negligence and lack of patience and changing my lip
ring several times during its healing process. Although it had appeared
3 months prior to getting my lip pierced, it has to be the reason why i
got it. I am desperately looking for a cure/treatment to help me get
rid of this cyst on my face. I have tried listerine washes, sea salt
washes, evening primrose oil, castor oil, ice, brushing my teeth
excessively and draining it.My skin has almost fully healed from my
attempts to draining it 3 weeks ago, and have since stopped because
have realized draining it only helps temporarily. My current treatment
regiment is taking 5 tablets of Boiron's Silicea 200ck tablets 3 times
a day, along with brushing my teeth with Biotene toothpaste and Biotene
Mouthwash after every meal and drinking about 4 water bottles a day.
After reading about taking silicea (homeopathic healing) and how
Biotene products have worked wonders on people, I was very eager to try
it out thinking there still was hope for me. But still nothing.. My
situation is making it worse for my mucocele because, i am currently
living paycheck to paycheck, have no medical/dental insurance and can't
even afford to get a check up appointment at the dentists.
I
have never realized how self conscious i was until i had developed this
mucocele. I have become somewhat anti-social and you can even say
depressed, because of this thing on my face. Now starting the spring
semester in college, the last thing i wanna be is some anit-social
weirdo because that is not who I am. I am the outgoing funny guy that
loves to party as much as the next guy. My mucocele is noticeable from
10ft away and fluctuates in size during the day. This mucocele is only
building my stress more, especially after reading several
articles,blogs,stories and facts telling me that surgery may be my only
hope despite the fact that it may return. I want to try cortisone shots
or surgery but can't afford it. I read that if not treated quickly then
it may become permanent and am afraid that may be the case for me. PLEASE.
If anybody knows of anything else I can do that produces better results
than all of the stuff i have already tried PLEASE don't hesitate to
spread knowledge. ANYTHING that is effective and cheap, for my budget
is almost invisible now. I have become desperate and am simply asking
for only one thing in life right now and thats to get rid of this
mucocele. Thank you so much for your time and understanding.
