hi there.
1. simple radiofrequency under local anesthesia will give you good permanent results, its a simple office based procedure.
2. even cryotherapy under local anesthesia will also help you, which is not a surgery.
don't try any lotions or medication and irritate the mucosal area, coz it takes some time to heal if damaged.
this may help you.
