How To Get Rid Of Mouth Sores And Dark Spot On Lips?
Hi, i am having trouble with some mouth sores. I have battled canker sores my whole life, but out of nowhere I have a few in my mouth, but I also have a dark spot on the inside of my lip as well as a odd dark pin head size dot on the inside of my lower lip. What can be going on?

Hi
You have developed a pigmented lesion on the inner side of lip.
Such a skin lesion can develop either due to a skin condition called lichen planus or it can be due to a drug reaction called fixed drug eruption.
It is very important to find the exact cause of development of such a mucosal skin lesion.
Hope you are not currently on any medicines in the form of antibiotics or pain killers.
You should avoid the intake of any medicines and should see a nearby dermatologist soon for proper assessment and diagnosis .
Hope it helps
