Hi, I have a small spot on my bottom lip just right of the middle. If I run my tongue over it, it seems indented and tastes like blood on contact. There no pain and as far as I know, no trauma took place. Its a fairly small lesion with 3 tiny red specs forming almost a triangle around it. I get canker sores and this is far different. Any ideas?
Hello, A small bump on the inside of lower lip can be due to a mucous cyst or Muscle formation. It can also be an overgrown sebaceous gland. Other cause can be cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. So, first, you should consult an oral physician and get evaluated, and a clinical examination can be done along with oral swab culture can be done for confirmation of the cause. For now, do warm saline gargles and also do cool compresses over the sores. Avoid spicy and irritant foods. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
