What Could Be The Flesh Colored Lump On Bottom Lip?
Hi, my girlfriend has a flesh coloured lump on her bottom lip, quite sure it is not a cold sore as it is not inflamed or a crusty yellow colour. I was just wondering on what it might be, and if I should be concerned if it is contageous...my lips seem fine.

I would think of a herpes simplex infection. Another possibility is an irritated hair follicle.
I would advise her to visit a dermatologist and get it evaluated.
