What Causes Lump On Inside Of Upper Lip?
I have a lump on inside of my upper lip even with my top teeth up into cheek in looked inside my mouth where it is and do not see anything no sores, no redness, but you can see slight swelling from outside.It s been there for months sometimes its large and noticable other times not so much but it does not go away. If you grab the lump from inside and outside you can feel it roll between your fingers. Its hard and not painful only if i sqeeze at it does it hurt. It is about pea size. I am not sure if it is a cyst, tumor, or trauma from my dentures since I sleep in them.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lump on inside of the upper lip can be a irritational fibroma or a fibrosed mucocele. This occurs secondary to chronic irritation by the teeth. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and get it surgically removed.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
