Hi.Does ure swelling hurt. I have a swelling in my mouth (right under my lower lip) since last several months that keeps increasing n decreeasing in size. (even vanishes for weeks). It looks light pink in color. My dentist says its saliva building up in a small pocket n she will have to do a minor procedure to cure it forever, but ive bin putting it off. She asked me not to pinch or prick it ever. If ure pimple is so big that its affecting ure talking/ eating etc n doesnt get smaller soon looks like u'll have to check with ure doctor what to do abt it.

Hi
Welcome to HCM forum
Your condition can be called as Ranula or salivary cyst. The best thing is to consult a ENT surgeon. Take care.
