Is There Any Connection Between Benign Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid, Sore Lips And Rosacea?

I've been to the dentist and he said I have benign mucous membrane pemphigoid. The inside of my front lip keeps getting sore. I have found that I do keep irritating it (unintentionally). I have been using a prescription oral salve for at least four months. If I quit using this the soreness returns. 2 weeks ago it started while I was still using the salve. I have rosacea. Could there be any connection to the rawness of my lip and rosacea?

thanks for your question,
the reccurent ulcers on your lip could be because of many reasons most common of which is reccurent aphthous ulcers, which requires symptomatic treatment with analgesics and topical steroids...if it keeps reccuring then do a biopsy in that site to rule out any other conditions...
