What Causes Canker Sores Inside Lower Lip When Suffering From Chiggers?
I awoke this am with what I thought to be a cancor sore inside lower lip and a white bubble next to it. I have been suffering with chiggers on my body this last week. I thought maybe tomatoes with the cancor sore, but I tried squeezing the white bubble with tweezers and did bleed a little and I thought it was gone. This evening the white bubble is back in the lower lip, a small cancor sore still exists next to it, and now I have a white line extending from the white bubble and runs all the way back to my throat. Can a person get chiggers in the mouth? I am not a cheek biter and I didn t have the white line this am.

Hi,
From your explanation, it looks like a mucocele or a mucous cyst that appears like a bubble filled with fluid. It does not look like chigger's bite from your explanation.
So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and once get it checked for confirmation, or you can also send me pictures of the lump and the canker sore so that I can give you a better advise.
For now, you can do concentrated salt water rinses as it helps in shrinkage of the lump. Do not try to pop it at home as it can cause infection in the area. Take soft meals and avoid hard foods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
