What Causes Tingling In Inner Upper Lip?

The middle of my inner upper lip feels irritated, it has been going on for a couple of days. I have been messing with it lately, and I remember peeling the dead skin before this started in the irritated spot. If anything can describe it, a tingle would be most accurate, but that s not what it feels like really, it s just a very, mild irritation.

Hi.
As per your case-history you are having mild irritation of upper lip.It maybe caused by mild trauma by teeth or some new product like toothpaste if used.
My advice in your case is-
Don't peel the skin of that part, it will increase the complain.
Avoid any new product like toothpaste or mouth cleanser.
Apply metronidazole topical gel twice daily.

Thanks.
