@smoir Boy, what a terrible merry-go-round to be on! No one agrees and you’re left wanting treatment. At least, a pharmacy is making a rinse for you.

The one dentist said that it could be allergic contact dermatitis. You may want to ask your PCP for a referral to an allergist who could help figure this out. Or your dentist may suggest that that you see a periodontist (gum specialist).
This is all very confusing so you may want to do some more research. In the meantime, some other members may have some suggestions.

Hello- yes, it has been a real roller coaster for sure.
I did see a periodontist, that’s who did the 2 biopsies. It took 5 years for someone to recommend a gum specialist to me. I’ve been to ENT, 2 different Dentists, oral surgeon, allergy specialist, natural path, family dr , 2 different dermatologists! Now a pharmacy that specializes in compounds ! I was using Carmex on my lips, but he dermatologist told me to stop using that, only use Vaseline on my lips.
