Hi,

I am glad you chose iCliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

It is a cystic lesion of the buccal mucosa probably swelling of a minor salivary gland (attachment removed to protect patient identity). If it has been present as such for a long time and especially if it is increasing in size, then you would have to visit a dentist for its drainage or excision. It will not get cured by any medication or cream. However, you would have to stop biting your lips, as it may cause aggravation.

Thank you for consulting me.

You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
