Hi, Abt 10 years back i had developed a small purplish/blackish small spot which has a small buldge on my lower lip on the righthand side. It is painless even when i touch it or even press it. It seems to have become a little bigger in the last year..I cant seem to detect the problem. I wonder if its a nerver ending on the lower lip? If you could help me it would be great.
