You mean, just as there is no cure for reflux oesophagitis, asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, atopic dermatitis, old age? {;-)}

If you read the reputable reports of BXO, which there is no evidence that you still have at this point, they suggest that while it might have a tendency to recur, when treated successfully with steroid, it goes away.

> Yes it could be loose skin but when I touch certain area of it...it does hurt a bit.

As would any scar at three months, particularly in such a delicate and sensitive place. Again, BXO as such, does not hurt, so that's not telling you anything.

>I might still have lots of questions to ask you

Oh dear! {:-)}
