Got a painless lump on the inner lip
I have noticed a painless lump type of thing in the inner side of lower lip . Attaching image for reference .Firstly I thought it would have been a chala but it doesn't hurt at all and looks like part same part as of inner part of lip. Pls advice
Hie is it movable..??
Either this can be due to your habit of sucking lip from that side or this could be mucocele.. (cyst like)
Need to examine it for confirmation.. if it’s due to habit, it will go by its own. Or else need to remove the cyst
Next Steps
Kindly consult or visit the dentist

It looks like a Mucocele ( mucous retention cyst ) or fibrosis which happens to due accidental biting of lips or due to any trauma . If Mucocele it’s totally begin and can be excised under local Anesthesia
Next Steps
Mucocele along with minor salivary glands needs to be excused to reduce the possibility of recurrence
