Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain as your daughter is having a cyst n her upper lip that is present since 2 weeks of birth and is still present and getting bigger then it can be probably due to cause causes like sebaceous cyst, dermoid/epidermoid cyst etc..

Although all these conditions are harmless and will not turn into anything malignant but at times they are aesthetically unpleasant and needs removal..

As it is increasing in size, therefore it has to be removed surgically as it can not be resolved by conservative means..

So it is better to consult a Paediatric surgeon and get evaluated and can proceed for the surgery..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
