What Causes Red Line On Inside Of Lips And Sores On Tongue?
I have a red line on the inside of my upper and lower lips, and my tongue has sores on the tip. It is all painful,
made worse by toothpaste and some foods. I can't open my mouth very wide, because I have cracks on the sides of my lips. Any ideas? Thank you very much.
