What Is The Red Ring On Lips After Root Tip Extraction?

In the beginning of May I had 13 root tips pulled. Two of them were absest. Immediatly after extractions, I had dentures put in, top and bottom. About an hour later I developed a red ring around my lips and have tried everything to get ride if it. It has not cleared up. What is wrong?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The red ring could be because of the traumatic ulcer or it can be a aphthous ulcer. Nothing to worry, Consult a oral physician and get it ruled out.
If it is traumatic ulcer or herpetic ulcer, you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food.
If it is aphthous ulcer you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.

I hope my answer will help you, take care.
