Small lump on lower lip.
Good morning
I've a small lump on left side of my lower lip. It started three weeks back. At first I thought it was pimple or something. Then as days pass by it grew and became hardened. Furthermore, when I tried to bite it, it doesn't give me pain either. I've no idea what it is. Kindly give me a solution for this
Thanks you.

Dear it was a small lesion formed due to accidental biting of lip and u traumatised it again by biting so it enlarged. Its a mucocele, it need to be surgically treated by oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Prefer its excision by blade rather than Laser treatment.
Next Steps
Visit oral & Maxillofacial surgeon for Surgical excision of this mucocele. Visit my clinic at Aishbagh Road if u r from Lucknow.
Health Tips
Its a minor surgical procedure no need to get terrified from the name SURGICAL TREATMENT, it will not resolve itself unless acted upon.

Seeing the picture, it most probably looks like a mucocele. Please visit a dentist/oral surgeon.
It is not a pimple, pimple cannot form on the lip.
And do not touch it or bite it continuously, as it may turn in to a traumatic fibroma. It won’t give you pain, but it won’t get cured by itself, u have to get it treated.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist/oral surgeon and get it checked

The swelling has to be examined to diagnose properly. It may be due to trauma if you accidentally bit your lip or got hurt there resulting in formation of a mucocele. Depending on the diagnosis your dentist will advise you further
