Stinging Lips : (

[Smowball]

Sounds daft but the inside of my bottom lips really stings whenever I eat or drink - anything fizzy is really painful especially. Even brushing my teeth - if the toothpaste touches the inside of my lip it stings like mad. There is absolutely nothing there to see but if I rub it with my finger it also hurts. Has been like it for a couple of weeks - any ideas??

No.

Have you eaten spicy crisps or punjabi mix? Salt water rinse sorts it for me.

Chapped lips...I'm afraid you'll have to give up snogging ;-)

Burning lip syndrome, look it up as there are loads of sites. Pure aloe vera gel applied regularly is a good treatment according to the articles.

Tip of tongue is actually very very sensitive actually - salt n vinegar crisps send me thru the roof!

If your mouth generally feels a bit odd, it could be thrush (candida), I've just got rid of it. Have you been on antibiotics lately? Inside of lip will be red, as will tip of tongue - pickled onion can send you up the wall! If it is, you need a mouth rinse from the doc's (but live yoghurt helps).

There's no chance you've chipped one of your bottom teeth? Even the slightest change in tooth shape can rub the lip/tongue/cheek raw for a while.

\\\ There is absolutely nothing there to see \\

i.e no ulcers, no trauma, no infection.

Peel and slice a cucumber and apply to the affected area.

Lay off the nettle wine for a while.

Lol you lot. Tongue has been over sensitive for about a year. Lips for about 2 weeks. Really is nothing there to see - but v annoying!

You've had this problem for over a year? So why not go to the doctors?
