Suggest Remedy For Bump Inside Lip

About the end of January I had a cold sore on my lip and I bit it pretty bad, where it swelled up with blood. Ever since then there has been a small bump on the inside of my lip. I was thinking it could be a possible blood clot, is there anything I could do to resolve it?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query bump inside of lip which is getting filled with blood in query is due to traumatic injury to inner lip leading to accumulation of blood. It could be mucocele leading to accumulation of saliva in clogged duct of salivary gland. I would suggest you to consult oral physician for proper examination and to rule out other causes like hematoma , cold sore or herpes. This is usually harmless . It usually go away few days without any treatment. If it persist then there are many treatment options available. Doctor may give incision and remove it under the local anesthesia. Doctor may give antibiotics to subside it. For now maintain oral hygiene , do listerine mouth wash rinses and give cold compresses .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
