Most people scratch their lip now and then and it’s an annoyance. It might hurt, but it fades fast. If your burning mouth syndrome includes your lips and you scratch your lips – the pain is excruciating.
I wiped my face and my nail caught my lower lip briefly. It brought tears to my eyes, it hurt so much. The same thing happens if I have to wipe my mouth with a towel or napkin that is the least bit scratchy.
My pain level was rising as it is. Sigh.
