Suggest Treatment For A Lump Inside The Lip

Last night I felt a lump about the size of a pearl on the inside of my lip. It didn t hurt when I touched it. I pressed it...no fluid came out. It went away but this morning I have a purple bruise on the inside of my lip. What would have caused the bump?

Hello there,
Thanks for your post on HralthcareMagic.
I carefully read your query and able to understand your point of concern.

Don't worry it's no a serious issue.
I think it is a mucocele. Which is caused by accumulation of mucous escape from salivary duct following local trauma. Usually it is painless and spontaneously resolve in a short time.

You wrote that you have a bruish, i think it is due to local trauma by bite on mucocele.
Please don't be panic.
My advice is rinse your mouth with salted water wich help to resolve that mucocele.

If persist for more period of time then you may consult with a dermatologist for laser treatment or surgical intervention.

Hope it will help you.
Wish your good health.
Regards
Dr. Atiqul
