How Log Will It Take For The Bump On The Lip To Heal?

is this real? i slammed my lip onto a table, bit through my lower lip... it bled and seemed to heal fine. a month later... it is still hard like a blood clot feeling.. it is red and there is a white-ish bump. i ve tried to pop it before but it just bled more. either way it is hard, not painful but uncomfortable. wondering what this is... if i should go in for a visit or if it will reabsorb?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.

Read and understood your problem.
The appearance hard red and white bump in the lip after a trauma caused by hit on the table can be due to the following reasons:
-This can be a Cyst
-Organized hematoma appearing hard
-Acquired Hematoma.

You should go for a Visit to the General Surgeon or an ENT Surgeon for clinical evaluation so that the removal will be easy.
Since this is more than a month you have this problem , it is unlikely to be absorbed by the body. There is no point in waiting for more.
