Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that you have inflammation of the mucosa on the inner side of lips leading to redness..
As you might be still continuing with the habit then application of any ointment will not help until the habit of lip biting is stopped..
You should consult a dentist and get evaluated and he can advise you to wear mouth guard that will help in preventing lip biting and gradually the healing will take place and redness will subside..
You can also take multivitamin supplements..
Do cold water rinses and suck ice pops..
In case if there is pain you can take Ibuprofen and gargle with numbing mouthwash..
Application of steroid based oral paste can also help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
