How do I heal my facial cut?

"Oval-shaped" looking cut on my lip (not really a cut?) how can i make it heal quicker, and numb the pain?

• I read that these are not really cuts, but some kind of sore i think. Its like an oval shaped looking cut on my lower lip, and has some transparent white stuff in the middle It takes *forever* to heal, and becomes increasingly annoying, sometimes painful What is this called again, and how can i make it heal quicker/numb the pain? I read somewhere that putting ice on it helps, which it dose.. temporarily.. i found that lightly biting your lip and sucking hard helps.. for a few seconds, then find out that my mouth is full of blood. So i have discovered that was a bad idea. What else can i do? Preferring remedy's i don't have to go to the doctor for, and that i can use common household items to help it heal
