What Causes Burning Sensation On The Lips?

Several weeks ago, I noticed that spices began to burn my tongue and lips.
About a week ago in the morning there was a gummy solution on my lips. Then the inside of my mouth started to hurt . I wear dentures so I left the bottom dentures out but I am still feeling the burning sensation on my lips, more the bottom lip. What can cause this?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it can be a denture sore mouth..

Other cause can be Burning tongue/mouth syndrome is a condition in which there is burning sensation inside mouth and can also be associated with a scalded feeling and can also experience numbing sensation..

It can occur due to a number of causes like nutritional deficiency of iron and vitamin B12, dry mouth or xerostomia, stress, acid reflux, side effects of medicines etc..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination and investigations like blood tests can be advised..
Treatment of underlying cause will resolve the symptoms..
As of now to get relieved you can start gargling with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
Take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
Avoid spicy foods and take a soft bland diet..
Suck ice pops..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
