Inside my mouth, when I pull my lower lip down into a frown, I can see two yellow holes (or whatever they are)! Whenever I move my mouth, it HURTS! Can someone please tell me what this is, or help me find it? I tried Googling it, but can't find anything!
I'm soo scared..I even think it's a sign of cancer! LOL...but um, it's not funny if it is, okay?

Did you accidently bite your inner lip while chewing? Do you wear braces that might have nicked your inner lip? Sometimes certain foods can irritate your lip - like a berry seed trapped between your lip and gum.
Injury to the sensitive membranes in your mouth are frequent and painful. They seem to take longer to heal than the same type of injury outside your mouth but that's because they are kept moist and do not form scabs. If they really bother you, try a teething ointment. These sores are also known as canker sores. See a doctor if they last longer than 3 weeks.

They could be canker sores, and if so you can go to your local pharmacy and ask for a product called GLYOXIDE. It's wonderful for all kinds of mouth ailments. You just put a very little in your mouth and swish it around (it will oxidate and feel really funny at first) DO NOT SWOLLOW IT,just spit it out. Use it as directed on the box. I had to use it after some surgery I had, and I still keep it on hand for good oral hygiene.
On the web you can also go to www.webmd.Great sight ,all kinds of great advice for a million different things

Sounds like canker sores, get some over the counter canker sore medicine. Put one teaspoon full of table salt into 8 ounces of warm water and swish that around your mouth. Use up all 8 ounces and repeat that 3 times a day. If it doesn't start to look better by Monday, call your dentist and tell them you need to get in that very same day.

Canker sores. OUCH. Those hurt like crazy. I've had them for years and sometimes several in my mouth at once. They can last for over a week sometimes. Not much you can do but let your body heal and sometimes over the counter meds for them help some people. It's not cancer. Actually, they don't even know for sure what causes them. Take care, feel better soon.

Definately canker sores. Go and get some anbesol, rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day, and seriously increase the intake of your vitamin C.
