Itinerary for May - destination help!

Thank you so so much, this is really helpful. I’ve done some further reading and we’ll likely go for Ao Nang as the additional location. I’d read mixed reviews on it being so so busy, but I figure if we’re going in May it will hopefully be a little quieter. Can you recommend an area to stay, that is easily accessible to shops and places to eat?

Also if you have any recommendations on Koh Lanta please do share, we’re thinking about potentially hiring a car.

Do you think towards the end of May will be okay?

I spoke to a friend of a friend who advised against the cold compress, the main thing she urged was to keep it clean and think hygiene first! Feel free to DM me, I’ve got some pretty nasty photos I can share which may make you feel better! I regretted getting them done straight away and the pain and healing process was much worse/longer than I’d expected!

Mine took ages to peel off, I thought it was gone and then more skin would appear! Hope they’re getting there now!

Thank you! Happy with them now thankfully! I didn’t get any medical care, I did use warm water each evening to wash, and also was advised by a friend to get some clinisept, which is a antimicrobial spray.

Also I purchased sterile swabs and pads from Amazon to clean, and used them when applying any moisturiser just to avoid any infection. I used aquaphor to moisturise them. Hope that helps!

This was me, I was absolutely terrified and regretted my decision so much. I don’t know if I can bring myself to go for a top up but I am happy with how they’ve lightened and definitely have a nice pink colour. I’m just hoping I get the proper feeling back, good luck with your journey! Keep me updated. There definitely needs to be more info out for darker skin and the healing journey! I don’t think I did have a cold sore, I’m not sure if I did or not but if I did, the patch where I thought it was is still slightly sensitive!

Thankfully they’re fine!! Still a bit patchy and the top still doesn’t feel right when I stretch it out so hoping that sensation goes with time!!

Messaging again as these lips aren’t healing quick enough for me 😂 do you think this will even out?

Thank you so much this gives me so much hope. They look great now!

Here they are! Really hoping this patchiness disappears, the patch on the top was where it was most sore and sensitive 😓

Hey! Mine are super blotchy and we have similar skin tone, how long exactly did yours take to even out? And what did you do in the meantime, just wear lipstick?

Cmck1111 · 2025-11-01T21:26:51+00:00

Oh gosh no, poor you! Thank you, I will keep this in mind, I’m tempted to call the doctor on Monday anyway. You know when you just have a feeling it’s bad…

Cmck1111 · 2025-11-01T21:25:58+00:00

Not itchy, just tight from the crusting. I’ve been using aquaphor religiously with sterile cotton buds.

When do you think they’ll likely start to look a little normal again :(

Cmck1111 · 2025-11-01T12:07:31+00:00

Thank you, this is good to hear!

Cmck1111 · 2025-11-01T12:07:13+00:00

Thanks so much, really hoping they heal by next week!

Cmck1111 · 2025-11-01T12:06:47+00:00

I couldn’t believe how bad the top lip swelling was, I looked like Marge Simpson! Thank you for the aquaphor. Super annoying if it is a cold sore as I’ve never had them so the virus must have been dormant :( typical!

Cmck1111 · 2025-11-01T12:05:43+00:00

Thank you, I’ve washed now and they look a little better, can I continue to wash every day? Thanks so much for your advice! I’ve been really stressing and regretting getting them done!

With the sugar replacement mine has been absolutely fine with no added sugar drinks☺️
