Suggest Remedy For Sore, Red And Painful Lips After Chewing The Inside Of Lips

Hi, I did some MDMA this weekend (which I'm not proud of) and ended up chewing the inside of my lip badly, it wasn't painful for a couple of days then yesterday and today it because extremely sore and painful. I did some salt water rinses but that seems to have just made it worse, I also just put some ulcer gel on it and it stung horribly. My lip is so red and sore, what do I do and how long will it take to heal?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore, red and painful lips after chewing the inside of lips is because of formation of mucus retention inside mouth which occurs due to continuous irritation of mucosa and due to excessive dryness of oral mucosa as it is highly sensitive and continuous chewing inside leads to chapping and ulceration.

I would suggest you to visit dermatologist or dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Get biopsy done by taking sample for ulcerated area. Drink plenty of water. Apply dologel on finger and rub over ulcerated area. Take Becosules capsules. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Avoid sharp, spicy food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
