Hi, so for about a week more or less.. ive noticed a bump on the inside of my lowered lip on the left side.. last week it was really big & right about now it has gotten a little bit smaller but its still there .. also it has a small purple dot in the middle of the bump .. not sure what it means .. HELP!
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A bump on the lip is most commonly caused by a retention cyst. Retention cyst is caused by rupture of minor salivary gland duct and inflammatory reaction against the extravasated secretions. The central purple dot could be due to hemorrhage. However, clinical examination is required. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice followed by histopathological examination. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
