Small cuts on the side of my mouth

Unread post by veronica37111 »

I woke up today with a sharpish pain on the side of my mouth when I yawned. I noticed it was a bit red and I have like 2 small cuts. What could this be from? Now I feel the pain on both sides when I open wide. I overthink everything and immediately thought about the fact I went down on my bf 3 days ago. Could it have to do with that? Is it something else? Should I be worried?

Hi veronica37111,

Since you're only noticing them now, I think it's very unlikely that these cuts are from oral sex you performed several days ago. We can't really say for certain what they are beyond that, though if you notice they aren't going away or they get noticeably worse, that might be a time to check in with a healthcare provider.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
