Lip Ulcer
A lip ulcer is a lesion or sore that appears on the lips or in the nearby area of the mouth. It can be due to multiple causes and is usually bothersome, especially when eating or speaking.
Common causes: Accidental bites, irritation from dentures or appliances, infections, contact with irritating substances, or dryness; some are related to the immune system.
When should you see a doctor? It's advisable to have it checked if it doesn't heal within a reasonable time, if it recurs frequently, if it grows, or if it changes color or appearance.
Which specialist treats it? The dentist and the oral pathologist evaluate lesions of the mouth, while the dermatologist may take part when it affects the skin of the lip. When a sore persists or looks different, the safest thing is to let a professional examine it.
