PICS INCLUDED please give me some feedback I BEG OF YOU
Okay, so here's my story. The left side of my mouth is having a real crisis.
Tragedy 1: Approximately three weeks ago I noticed what I thought was a lip/cheek bite on the left side of mouth.
Tragedy 2: Well I was chewing gum and accidentally bit the small skin tag that was kind of hanging from the bitten area and it bled like crazy. I fell asleep with a piece of cloth in my mouth.
Tragedy 3: The first two tragedies cause a mucocele to develop (at least thats what I believe according to a little internet research).
Tragedy 4: I tried to pop the mucocele so it could drain. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. My fingernail slipped and broke in to the top layer and it hurt like *&^%! Nothing really drained; just a small amount of blood and liquid. The mucocele stayed the same size, and my attempt to pop it caused another tragedy as I will describe below:
Tragedy 5: Within 24 hours of trying to pop it, this large white mass appears out the top of my mucocele.Some sort of white tissue is just there now. It looks like a tooth but it is soft tissue that is stuck there.
Hello Chelle:
I think your whole crisis is probably coming from when you bit your lip. As you probably might have learned from your internet research, trama can cause a mucocele. I wouldn't suggest that you try to pop or burst it though. This will only make it scar and grow deeper.
Did any puss or anything come out later after you tried to burst it? Is it sore or swollen? If it burst on its own, try to keep it clean with peroxide or listerine.

Hey RGL,
Nothing came out of it any time after I popped except for immediately a smallSMALLsmall amount of blood and liquid. It pretty much just wouldnt drain. It stayed the same size. I don't know what to do, it just grosses me out to even eat and I cant go to the doctor, I literally can't AFFORD to go to the doctor unless its a life and death emergency. Oh well, for everyone that has a mucocele, I feel for you. I would not wish this on my worst enemy.

Hey Chelle,
Don't give up just yet. I know the feeling you have. I felt the same way when I had my mucocele. I was afraid to eat because it seemed like when I ate, my mucocele got bigger. Try primrose oil. It worked for me. It won't hurt for you to give it a try. Just get some primrose oil pills, I think I paid less than 10 bucks for them. Get a small piece of tissue or gauze. Snip the tip off of one of the primrose oil pills. Saturate the crap outta the tissue or gauze and place it over your mucocele. Do this every night. I slept with mine and usually, i would get up in the middle of the night and spit it out. If you don't feel comfortable sleeping with it, put it on while you get ready for bed and just before you lay down to sleep, take it off. It took mines two weeks to go away. In the meanwhile, if it bursts on its own, be sure to keep it clean with listerine or peroxide. Try to avoid spicy foods. When I ate spicy stuff, it seemed to irritate my mucocele. Good luck! Let us know what happens!
