Three Year Old With Blister Under The Bottom Lip. Is This Be Due To Constant Rubbing With The Teeth?
Hello my three year old has a blister like bump under her bottom lip I thought it was because she has big lips for her age and where the bump is it sits right inbetween two of her teeth . It gets big on some days and others not so much I can push on it and she doesn t cry it feels like a little ball is in her lip if that makes sense. Could this be from her irritating it from the size of her lip rubbing by her teeth?

Hi
As you said the bump could be due to continuous irritation of lip by teeth or it may be due to retention cyst due to minor salivary gland retention. Consult your Pediatrician for examination and the need for surgical reference for the excision of the leison if it is causing discomfort to the child.
