Question 1

i have a bump on the inside of my lower lip only painful when rubbed against my tooth no discoloration any idea what it could be?

Accepted Answer

Fibroma: That's a guess. See your local dentist or oral surgeon to find out for sure.

Question 2

i noticed a tiny red bump, it has a clear center, in the inside  of my lower lip area. the bump is located across  from my lower teeth. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: There is no way to know without actually being able to see it. It may be something called a mucocoele that occurs when the duct of a small salivary gland becomes clogged. If it is, it may\ may not go away on its own. If it's not gone in two weeks, make sure you see your dentist for an accurate diagnosis.  In the meantime, unless it gets larger or becomes painful, i wouldn't be too concerned about.

Question 3

i noticed a small bump inside my lower lip a few weeks back. it was pink and blue with fluid inside. i popped it and it disappeared for a few days until it came back yesterday.

any idea what this is? i am getting worried about it.

Blister: This sounds like a blister that may have some blood in it. Regardless, it is not dangerous. It can fill up again and return. Rinse mouth with warm salt water.

Accepted Answer

See DDS for Eval: Bruxism (grinding teeth) is not a dangerous disorder. However, it can cause permanent damage to the teeth and uncomfortable jaw pain. See dentists who have more experience in evaluating bruxism and treating TMJ.

Question 8

pea-sized bump under chin, trouble swallowing, sores in back of mouth near wisdom teeth. is it cancer?  any other ideas of what it could be?

Accepted Answer

Canker sores: A canker sore is a painful  sore in the mouth. They are usually white or yellow and surrounded by a bright red area. They are not cancerous. This may be what you have.  The "bump" under the chin is likely a reactive lymph node- you body's way of reacting to that sore.   You can try different home remedies and mouthwash and they should resolve within 1-2 weeks.  Otherwise go see an ENT or oral surg.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Herpes I: Herpes simplex 1. Will go away on it's own but a physician can prescribe topical ointments or oral medication to make it go away faster. (do not confuse with genital herpes simplex ii).

Question 10

yesterday, i noticed a pencil tip size bump in the inside of my lower lip. it's non painful. does this require immediate attention?

Accepted Answer

Bumps come &amp; go: in the mouth. If this is not symptomatic and resolves - I would not get medical assessment.  Take care.
