Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I have had this red bump on my lower lip for about a year. I had it tested for cancer by a skin doctor after I had it for a few months. i may have bitten it, I m not sure. But the doctor said it was harmless. not cancer. So, I thought maybe I would try a natural approach and not have it removed. I have noticed that it grows and gets painful and filled with blood when I drink wine or right before my period. I tried to heal it using tea tree oil and recently started using manuka oil. It seemed to start to go down with the manuka honey combined with not drinking alcohol. But as soon as I had a couple glasses of wine it got darker and grew. Will this ever go away by itself? Or do I need to bite the bullet and get it removed. I m totally not into surgery. I like the natural approach better, by the way. But this thing is UNSIGHTLY.
