Possibly: Your description could indicate a coming cold sore. Try keeping the area lubricated with carmex or abreva. If this gets worse, see your doctor.

It may be.: Cold sores are painful liquid filled blisters that can occur on the lips, roof of the mouth or the gums which are usually caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). Tingling &/or pain can herald the oncoming of cold sore 1 to 2 days prior to eruption.
