Lump On the Inside of My Lower Lip ?? Posted: 07-07-05 21:53pm
I have developed a lump on the inside of
my lower lip . This happened after I bit
my lower lip but after it healed, the bump
came out and it got a little bigger (it is
hard and rounded, the size of a pencil
eraser). I'm afraid this is a tumor or
something because I never had this before
even when I accidentally bit my lips many
times.
1. Does anyone know what this is ?
2. What type of doctor should I see to
get this diagnosed ?
Thanks,
scott

I'd either go to your physician or a
dermatologist. It could just be a
build-up of scar tissue where you bit your
lip.. I wouldn't assume it's a tumor yet,
but even if it's just annoying it's worth
having someone look at it.

highly dought it could be a tumor..I agree
