Question about not applying/doing anything to the lips:
Does this mean those who have taken this approach allow the plaques to grow on their lips and do nothing to remove them, even if they're ready to be detached (sometimes I notice the plaques detach naturally, almost like scabs)? Not even gently trimming the already-detached excess skin?
I've done this for periods of time as a teenager (for weeks at a time); I just never continued with it, as it didn't seem to be helping any more than using a gentle moisturizer occasionally and trimming.
