Wow you wrote your reply inside the quote. You are very gifted hehe good answer though.

That bubble or lump growing on your lower lip is a mucus cyst or mucocele. I presently have the same problem. I have learnt I severed a salivary gland when I bit my lip thus a cyst came about.

To get rid of it, one has to do surgery? Is it going to leave a tiny scar that can't be seen .

Ok- Great...I have a huge tradeshow to attend this weekend and Im freaking out. I bit the inside of my lip over a week ago and now I have a growing hard bump that is starting to show when Im speaking...ugh! I was going to go to the dermatologist tomorrow...I saw the other posting here but it was back in 2005 and want to know what happened. Sounds like the same exact deal! How do I get rid of this thing in 2 days????

I did the exact same thing just after Christmas, I was chewing some food and somehow caught my lip and bit down hard on it. I developed a large lump as you have all described that looks like an oversized ulcer.

After 2 weeks I went to my doctor who advised me I had crushed a salivery gland and they very rarely require surgery and will unclog itself given a month or two. He referred me to the dentists as I have a tendancy to worry.

Almost two weeks later it is no better, I went to the dentists today as recommended and my dentist again said it will be fine and to leave it alone. He also said to give it a month or two. He recommended that I suck on oranges or lemons or anything else that will get saliva flowing to unblock the gland.

Both advised it's harmless, rarely requires surgery and will not turn cancerous. Mine thankfully is not painful or anything, merely unsightly.

i have the same thing i was even to embarrased to tell my husband he didnt even notice until last night and ive had it for almost a month thanx

I havent bitten my lip and this lump doesn't hurt and is not hard, just looks like a big thickly lined bubble on the inside of my bottom lip. I do wear retainers at night but it only appeared this morning and I wear retainers for over 6 months now. Thanks everyone!

I bit my lip about 5 times (in a span of 3 minutes at the same spot) a while back and now I have a bubble thing on the inside of my lower lip. At first it was clear, but now the liquid thing has become almost cream colored. Kinda gross too. I did try to pop it when the liquid was clear but it didn't burst. However, you could see the some blood go into the bubble.... so I stopped squishing. I want it to go away because you could see it when I talk. i should just get surgury done on it.
