Remedies for Bump 

When you eat or drink something extremely hot or cold that is abnormal to the skin, the skin reacts immediately under different forms. In your case, you could blame the heat of the pizza and a combination of hot curry / sauce that would have aggravated the issue.

If you are not used to eat hot foods and it has happened once in a while, then inflammation of this kind is a normal incident.


Soft tissues are bound to get damaged when anything intense in sensation is applied upon. These injuries are bound to vary depending upon intensity and complexity.

Apply an ice cube to the bump and let it stay till the bump dies down.


Keep applying the iced cube once very 15 minutes. Under normal circumstance the bump should go away, if not apply petroleum jelly or moisten the bump with a bit of vitamin e oil or olive oil at night before sleeping and you should be able to walk about without any discomforting appearance the next day. Do not slather on the greasy application, just a little bit to moisturize the swelling should solve the problem. Fortunately most mouth and lip injuries heal faster than anywhere else in the body, so rest assured it will not impair the lip.
