Bump in lower lip
My 5 year old toddler developed a big bump in her inner lip. We visited a dentist this week and he said it is a mucocele and it might need to be removed surgically. Today while brushing her teeth, I noticed one more tiny bump just beside the mucocele. She has a habit of sucking her left index and middle finger together, she does this when she is bored or sleeping. What is this, is this something to worry about.
