Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Brief answer - Fibroma

Detailed answer - As per your query small skin growths which you are talking about on inner surface of lower lip is because of fibromas which are excessive tissue growths. Need not to worry about that these are usually painless and of no harm. Lip biting is one of the cause for these as lip biting causes inflammatory reaction in that area which leaves a lump on inner surface.

If this lump is painless its of no harm , if its getting firm and causing pain then you should visit dermatologist to rule out premalignanat lesions. Get it excised properly after consulting physician. Laser and cauterization are other treatment options .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
