Hello sir!
Mucoceles arise in the minor salivary glands as the result of mechanical damage to the gland/duct. The common site is the lower lip.
Recurrence may occur if the salivary duct is not properly removed or when adjacent glands are damaged.
Management of recurrent mucoceles:
1. Surgical excision
2. Cryosurgery
3. CO2 laser
4. Electrocautery
Next Steps
Kindly visit the dentist
