A lump on my mouth

That, in my non-professional opinion, is a helluva mucocele.

See a dentist, or better an oral surgeon...they have more expertise in taking care of these.

Recurrence is somewhat common, but right now the most common cure is to cut, and the oral surgeons are much more experienced than general doctors.

thanks very much

Oh my gosh. That is a mucocele. Have you gotten it removed yet? Well if you haven't, do you bite it? Because when it is that big, it's hard to avoid a monster like that. Sometimes mine is that big, but then it's very little. For example, 2 cm. Right now it is white in the middle and red around the edges of the spherical figure.

I got this information from
http://www.doctorspiller.com/Sores_Lumps_Bumps.htm#Abnormalities%20of%20the%20lips%20and%20the%20inside%20of%20the%20cheeks

That is what mine looks like (that is why I am on here) and I've come to believe that instead of a mucocele, it is a fibroma.
I wish the pictures would show.
But check the website for the pictures if you'd like.

It deasribes:

"Mucocele--A mucocele (pronounced "muco-seel") is a mucous filled sac that forms, generally on the soft, pink mucosa on the inside of the lips or cheeks as the result of a traumatic incident that causes the patient to lacerate the tissue. If you gently bite the inside of your lower lip, you will notice that the tissue, held between the teeth, is sort of bumpy. Each of those little bumps represents a mucous or saliva gland, and each of these glands has a tiny duct that empties the mucous produced by that gland inside the mouth on the surface of the mucosa. If, due to a traumatic incident one or more of these ducts are severed, the mucous produced by the gland may not be able to reach the surface of the mucosa and it may produce a bluish blister filled with mucous. The blister breaks every so often, heals up and then refills with mucous, only to burst again later. These lesions are generally removed by an oral surgeon. They are not dangerous.

Fibroma--Fibromas are overgrowths of connective tissue. In the oral cavity they occur as firm, well defined "lumps" of uniformly pink tissue. They are generally not bound down to any underlying tissue, so their movement is limited only by the overlying tissue. They generally grow to a particular size (most commonly a centimeter across or less) and then stop growing. They can remain unchanged for many, many years. They are either ignored or removed by an oral surgeon. They are totally harmless unless they interfere with normal functioning. They are not contagious."

Good luck!

thanks for your advice. Thanks
