Hello,

From the details produced,i suspect your lips as well as cheeks are c/o aphthous stomatitis.

First of all,i advice you to maintain oral hygiene well.

Avoid spicy foods,tobacco or pan chewing and avoid foods causing allergy.

Apply topical steroid on the affected area.

Vitamin becosules and iron supplements has to be administered.

Plenty of nutritious food has to be ingested.

Take care.
