Bumps On Inside Mouth

I been having a habit of bitting the inside of the lip because I am nervous or stressed and bored. A few days ago, I bit the inside of my top lip like always an might have bit to deep which I always do. Now when I look at it, it's red, an has a few small white bumps and i haven't had oral sex about 5 or 6 month and have gotten tested in Oct and was clean of everything, but I did have sex back in Nov of 2011 it was protected and no oral sex, but I went got tested anyways and waitin for the results now. What should it be?
Help me!

Hello,
These white bumps can be due to canker sores or mucoceles caused by trauma. The sores usually heal without treatment in about a week or two. Avoid spicy or acidic foods during this time. You can use topical ointments like numbing ointments, such as benzocaine (Oragel), anti-inflammatory (steroid) gels,benadryl allergy liquid mouthwash,oral preparations of steroids and vitamin supplements.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
