A member asked:
After chewing my bottom lip it swelled and it has a layer of white skin over the top. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trauma.: It sounds like you traumatized your lip by chewing on it. The damaged cells will turn white and the swelling is due to the chewing. Stop chewing your lip and it should heal just fine!
