A member asked:

My 2 year old cut the inside of his lip. after 1 night we see it is turning whitish. not sure if this is normal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It happens: Once the edges of this tissue has lost its blood supply & begun to deteriorate it will have a cream colored sticky quality. The most I ever do with these is dab a bit of peroxide to bubble out any left over blood, but saliva has anti-bacterial qualities that make any treatment unnecessary. They heal well over time.
