Hello Doctor. My name is steve and i recently got canker sores in my mouth. but when i started to see if they are cured or not in a couple of days, i found 2 circular lumps inside of the LIPS. the right lump is big in size than the left one. Now, its 10 days and the size of left lump is slightly decreased and size of the right lump is same. I used to smoke 20+ cigarettes from the past 3 years, but i recently stopped before 1 month. Also, i got these canker sores and lumps only after i stopped smoking
Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint and explanation of the symptoms it seems that you have Muscle which is a false cyst and is formed due to trauma to the inside of lips leading to injury to minor salivary glands or their ducts leading to spillage of saliva into the soft tissues and formation of lump. Trauma can be caused due to lip biting, or any other trauma. There can be formation of multiple muscles also. I would suggest you to consult an oral pathologist and get evaluated and in case if it is a muscle, many a time it gets healed by itself but in case of large muscles and long-standing cases surgical removal has to be done. In case of long-standing muscles which are small laser ablation can be done. You can do concentrate salt water rinses as it also helps in shrinkage of the lumps. Hope this information helps.
