I have what looks like a blood clot on the bottom left side of my lip. I have had this problem for many years now and it has not gone away. Sometimes it swells and hurts but then the swelling goes down and the pain subsides. Please tell me how I can rid myself of this embarrassing blood clot bump on my lip
Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint the painful sore on the lip that is recurring can be due to causes like bacterial Infection, Abscess formation etc. If it is on inner aspect of lip then it can be a Canker sore. You can apply antiseptic ointment over it. Do cool compresses to reduce inflammation and swelling. You can take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen. If it still recurs consult an oral Physician and get evaluated, and you can be advised a course of antibiotics along with other remedies as advised for permanent resolution. Hope this information helps. Regards.
