Mouth on our beardie looks strange, maybe swollen

[Repti44]

I have a question for everyone. Our bearded dragon’s mouth has a section on each side that looks strange, maybe even a little swollen. He eats like a pig, so that is not a concern. Maybe I’m just being paranoid. What do you guys think?

Looks like his "lips" are probably getting ready to shed

Aside from shed, the looser areas around the sides of the mouth like that are fairly common. My guy has it too and I've even noticed similar in some wild dragons.
