They could be anything, mouth ulcers, sore areas where you have nipped the cheek in your sleep with your teeth anything.

Don't think the worse, how old are you? :flowers:

Firsty, hi there, what you are more likely to have is Canker sores, (painful sores in the mouth) it's a type of mouth ulcer, please do not be alarmed, as i have had something like this too. Stress can trigger them, and they will go away in due course. If you are concerned at all please see your doctor.

Take care xxxx

Hi Louise, i am 20 and i have small harmless cysts on the inside on my lip that are white. Doctor said its just the way my lips are. As you have 2 of them its unlikely to be cancer or anything sinister more likely either your lip or a canker sore. Are you able to pop in to your doctors for reasurrance?
