On inner side of my lower lip I got horizontal line, which starts from one mouth corner and ends at the other . Not very painful but feels a bit uncomfortable when licking. What is it, please? I'm 51, male, 176cm, 73kg,no medicine taken or medical treatment taken recently.

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the white line could be a frictional keratosis secondary to chronic irritation by the cuspal edges of the teeth. consult a oral physician and get it examined and confirm the diagnosis. if it is troubling your function then you can get it removed surgically and you can get your teeth cuspal edges rounded off. i hope my answer will help you take care.
