Medical Forum / General / General / May 2006mucocele and L-lysine
Steve, it is a mystery to me. Initially when I got these things the doc. told me they were apthous ulcers. Someone told me to use L-lysine, and it worked. Later a dentist told me they are mucoceles, and that l-lysine would not work, but it still works, whatever they are. I hardly get them anymore, and I take the enzyme every day.

When mucocoeles rupture they leave an ulcer that is very similar in quality to an aphthous ulcer, and it's totally possible that this is where the activity is (as opposed to the traumatized mucous duct).

(a small but helpful response we are willing to accept as placebo.) Jackie > > Steve, it is a mystery to me. Initially when I got these things the doc. > > told me they were apthous ulcers.
