Hi all,

For about two weeks I have been having some trouble with my lips.

Started with some sores(making my inner lip peel off ) which have eventually disappeared, but now I have noticed a weird bump on my bottom inner lip for about 3-4 days now. It is located on the left side of my inner bottom lip, and is only seen if I pull my lip.

Generally there is no pain at the moment and the intake of food is as usual. I did have a bit of pain in my gums when I started having the sores though .

I do have to say that I'm a smoker for about 1 year, and 21 years old. The tobacco does seem to irritate my lips lately,therefore I stopped my intake of tobacco today to see if the bump goes away, but I'm worried it my be an infection of some sorts?

I would like to hear maybe a specialist's opinion, as at the moment I cannot simply go to a doctor because of COVID-19

Thanks in advance!

Also super sorry for the gross pics, I'm in quarantine and have no will to shave.
