Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
A mole like projection has developed in my lip. It does not get cured. I bite my lip often. But, I feel it is very abnormal on my lip. Can you please help me?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
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.
