[|Human|] i had an ulcer on my lip which i bit and it turned into a blood blister. i went to the dentist who said it would go in a few weeks. A few weeks later it is still a hard lump but without the ulcer. I am self conscious of it as you can see it when i talk. Should i return to the dentist?
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your hard lump on lip is because of proliferation of blood vessels in that area. Actually the probable cause of lump on lip is mucocoele or mucous cyst. Mucocoele are usually the result of trauma in the mouth, which injures the tiny salivary ducts inside the lip. Injury or rupture of these microscopic excretory ducts leads to an accumulation of mucus inside the connective tissue of the lip. Lip biting or the sucking action Chat Doctor.  I would suggest you to consult oral surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order biopsy of cyst to rule out causes like cancer or lipoma. Doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory medicines along with antibiotics. Doctor may also surgically remove the salivary gland or do marsupilization of lump. Hope your concern has been resolved.
