A member asked:
I am an official lip biter. i bit the healing skin off of my lip now my lip swollen and burns, is it infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammed/infectd ?: When our bodies sustain an injury, the immediate response is inflammation (red, hot, tender (burning), swelling). This is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. The key is to protect the area and allow healing to occur such as lip balm or petroleum jelly. Your doctor can help with the lip biting.
