Pulsating Lip bump on upper lip
Hi I have a tiny pulsating bump on my upper lip towards the left. I must mention I have a habit of biting my lips or cheeks when I'm stressed out, but I've been more cautious since I've seen this. Any insight to this?
Past history: Quit smoking in 2013 and I very rarely consume alcohol. Have had RCT and restorations done in the past. No underlying conditions known.
By history of lipbiting your lesion looks like a mucocele. But its not pulsating. Better go for a consultation with Oral Medicine and Radiologist and find out the correct diagnosis so that we can proceed with the correct treatment.
Next Steps
Consult Oral Medicine and Radiologist
