What Causes Swelling And Burning Sensation In Inner Lip?

Just inside my lower lip the skin is raw swollen and burning. It is the only spot but is raw and exposed. I don't have chapped lips that I know of. I use Aquaphor and blistex medicated lilp ountment. Last night I went home and brushed my teeth and mouth really good. It helped for a little while.

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain a raw patch and swelling and burning sensation of inner lip can be a traumatic ulcer caused by biting of inner lip during chewing,sleeping or due to lip biting habit..

It can also be due to any chemical burn like due to any concentrated mouthwash like concentrated hydrogen preoxide or any other thing taken in mouth..

It can also be due to thermal burn caused by very hot food or hot liquids..

You need not to worry as it will heal gradually..

You can apply numbing gel over the lesion to relieve from pain and burning..
Sucking on ice pops can help..
Steroid based ointments can help to reduce burning and swelling..
In case of pain anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen can help..
Gargle with 1:1 solution of milk of magnesia and betadine can relieve..

In case if the lesion does not heal you should consult a dentist and get evaluated clinically and treated as per diagnosis..

Hope this information helps..
