Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that a painful white spot over the inner lip can be an apthous ulcer or a canker sore that has not ulcerated completely..
It can occur due to a number of causes like deficiency of iron and vitamin B12, stress, physical trauma, allergies, stress etc..
I would suggest you to take a multivitamin tablet daily for 15 days..
Apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine or analgesic like Choline salicylate over it to relieve pain especially during meals..
Take Motrin or Tylenol to relieve pain..
Do warm saline gargles..
Soda bicarb gargles can also help..
Suck ice or do cool water rinses..
Drink plenty of water, take a low spice and soft diet..
Maintain a good oral hygiene..
In case of no resolution in a week consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
