What Is The Cure For The Painful Lump Below The Lip?
My lip was chapped for about a week which is normal for me then under my lip was a small, barely evident, but painful bump. I woke up the next morning and it's slightly bigger and painful when touched. Now it's under and on my lip do you know what it is?

Hi.
This can be a small abscess or a hemangioma. It can be granuloma pyogenicum.
It is better to take a course of antibiotic for 3 days and see the results.
If it is recurrent , better to get it out surgically.
