I had a dome shaped pink bump on my inner lower lip, it stayed the same size and shape for about 2 weeks. The 3rd week the shape went from dome shaped to almost the shape of a tiny bullet. Its about 1mm-3mm and today there is some purplish discoloration around the bump, and also the bump has taken a white color. I went to the dr and he removed the bump and I have 3 stitches. However he never said what it was. Could this be lip cancer? A mucocele cyst? It scared me because it changed the shape and color. I did accidentally bite it several times and had a hard time not picking at it. Should i be ok since it was removed?
Hi It was most probably a muscle . And definitely not cancerous for your doctor would have certainly made you go through a lot of screening if he suspected the same. Lip muscle are common and whitish growth like you mentioned, but I do want you to know that they may be recurrent in many cases. Since you have got it removed you will be ok rest assured and it certainly ain't cancer. Do not worry. Take care.
