How To Get Rid Of Hard Lump Inside My Lower Lip?

Dear doctor,

I seem to have developed a hard lump inside my lower lip (left side). It is about the same size and shape as a pea. I am male, 30, non-smoker, but I do enjoy a beer or a glass of wine from time to time.

I cannot tell when this lump first developed. I discovered it by accident, when I noticed (in front of a mirror) that this part of my lip appeared ever so slightly swollen.

Please advise if this is something I should be worried about.

Thank you

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Nothing much to worry about this.
This looks to be a simple sub-mucus cyst of the lower lip and a small surgery under local anesthesia can cure this.
There is no medicines for such a lump so do not try and do not puncture as this will give you only temporary relief .
