Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of ulcers in the inner lip which is mainly because of herpes simplex virus infection i.e symptoms of cold sore and due to lowered immunity of body.

Need not to worry about it. Visit oral physician once and get complete oral examination done. Take proper course of antibiotics and steroid after prescription. Avoid pricking it. Cover skin while exposure to sunlight. Drink lots of water and fluids to rehydrate body. Use antiviral ointments such as rich in acyclovir. Avoid intake of sharp and spicy food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Mahehshwari
