What To Do For Pain In Skin Connecting The Lower Lip To The Lower Gum?

I have been having mouth pain for 4 days now. The pain is located on the skin connecting the lower lip to the lower gum line. There is a small store that looks like a crater. I have been using a weak anesthetic, oragel, and it only seems to help for about 5 minutes. What is it?

this is a sterss ulcer/ aphthous ulcer. the treatment you are doing is good. along side start taking some vitamin supplements, esp. vitamin B. you can also spread the powder of Vitamin capsule over the crater and keep it pressed for two minutes. be careful the powder is very bitter, but would relieve of the ulcer in few hours.
