Question : I have a small (size of a pencil eraser) in the middle of my lower lip. It has been there for several years but it has not gotten much larger. It is noticeable and my family and close friends ask me, what is it. Can it be removed?

Hi

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Majority of pathology which are not causing any issue or remain the same size are best left alone.
The cause of swelling depends on clinical examination. DO send me clinical photograph for further assessment.

Awaiting your response

Take Care
