Possible mucocele? Or wart?
Over the past couple of weeks I've had a lump growing on the inside of my bottom lip. It started off feeling almost like a pimple, but now it's got quite a lot bigger, to the extent that it's protruding from one side of my lip when my mouth is open.
It's hard to get an actual picture of the lump itself, because my camera isn't good quality and the colour looks pretty much the same as the rest of my lip. If you stretch my lip it looks almost like a little blister - if you squeeze it (as if you wanted to pop it), it turns a kind of pearly white colour. There is a small while point on one side of it, which makes it almost look like a zit, but you can't get to it (squeezing it just makes the whole thing bleed).
I have two warts on my fingers, which I've been treating for the past few months. The lump in my mouth didn't develop in the same way as either of the warts (they started with a patch of dry skin that eventually rose and developed a cauliflower-like surface), whereas, as I said, this lump started out as a little raised point that has swollen.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't have access to a doctor at the moment, so any advice would be very much appreciated.
Just an update to say that, since I stopped fiddling with it (I've left it since my last post), I've realised that it isn't the same colour as the rest of the lip - it's always got a kind of white tinge...
It kinda looks like a mucocele to me. Of course the only way to tell is to go see a doctor/oral surgeon. Really all you can do is wait it out until you can go to a doctor. I wouldn't poke at it or mess with it because that can cause infections and make things worse for you.
