I have this thing, not so sure how to describe it but...it's on the inner of my lip. it's not on my gums but the part that touches it...like inside of my lip. it's white and it hurts. Stings..when i move my mouth or touch it with my tongue. it's little red and swollen but not really noticiable. I think it might be because for the last few days i haven't had sleep and even if i did it was like...maybe less than 3~hours. I had lots of stress doing paper work for school and my neck and body was all stiff and aching as well. I didn't get the chance to eat proper meals...3 times a day...so I skipped a lot. Do you think vitamins will help? I do have an insurance but it's for the summer..so I can't use it right now.

It sounds like a cankor sore and Campho-Phenique usually helps. If this sore persists for more than 5 days, see your Doctor as it may be something else. I have been in the Medical Field and it is always wise to seek help if a problem doesn't resolve with simple measures.

Vitamins might help. Drink more water. Maybe take some advil or something for the discomfort. If it isn't better in a few days go to a clinic.

ive had those before, it will hurt the whole time it is there. Use salt water to rinse your mouth out a few time a day. orajel helps ease the pain as well. good luck, I know they are painful.

Camphor.
Just a drop on it will clear it up.
Get some sleep This is your body warning you that you need to be more careful.
