[|Human|] Hi, In the past several months I ve noticed a dark red ovalish spot inside my lower lip . It appears to be merely discoloration and is not raised. It doesn t hurt. My dentist noticed it too, last week and recommended a biopsy by an oral surgeon. I don t have great dental insurance so I m waiting instead to see my general physician--in three weeks after her vacation! so she can refer me to a specialist covered by my insurance. The dentist referred to it as a lesion. I m a 52-year-old female in generally good health. What could this be? Thank you.
[|AI|]  Hi, It is very difficult to guess what that lesion is until checked clinically. It is always better to get a biopsy done to rule out anything serious in such cases as your dentist has recommended. As you have decided to wait for your physician then I would recommend you to keep a check on this discoloration to make sure that it does not change color or increase in size. If you find any such changes in the same you must go for a biopsy immediately. Regards
