Hi,
How are you? What other symptoms are present? This could be due to irritation, infection or ulcer such as aphthous ulcers which occurs on the lining of cheeks, tongue, lips and roof of mouth. This starts with a tingling or burning sensation that progresses to form a red spot or bump, with a white circle or halo around the lesion. The cause is unknown but physical trauma, stress, lack of sleep, sudden weight loss, food allergies, immune system reactions,and nutritional deficiencies may be contributory. However, if it persists, you may need to have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Direct clinical examination is important. Take care and do keep us posted.
