Question 1

i woke up sunday with a purple spot on my bottom lip. it's been there many years but it's never blown up and not shrunk back down. ?

Accepted Answer

Sound like a blood: blister, a swollen vein.  Perhaps from biting at the smaller bump that is always there.  Warn compresses and it should resolve again but see your doctor immediately  (or the ER) if this turns into an expanding blood pocket down the face or neck.

Question 2

ulcer on bottom lip causing bottom lip membrane to turn a bit purplish at one spot. why is this?

Accepted Answer

Be sure of diagnosis: Get examined please. Canker sores are common aphthous ulcers of mouth that occur situationally, often in response to stressors, are bacterial or viral, ; can be treated topically with many otc products that reduce local discomfort ; potentially speed healing. However, oral/dental problems ; a number of systemic diseases cause canker sore-like lesions--crohn's, behcet's, std (sexually transmitted).

hi, i've like 2 yeards with a dark/purple spot under my lower lip. it doesn't hurt me.. i want to know what it is. sometimes it looks darker.

See dermatologist: Please see a dermatologist to have this  spot on your face examined, since you're concerned about it.  It's hard to know what it is without seeing it, and dermatologists are specialists for skin problems.

Tincture of time: Sounds like you may have broken some blood vessels.  Black &amp; Blue marks in mucosal tissues appear purple.  It will gradually resolve.  If still present in 10 days-2 weeks, see your Dentist.

Genital lesion: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. Consider a virtual visit with an image of the lesion. You can schedule with a doctor in your state today

Question 7

what would a purple spot on the lip be? it is flat and somewhat faint...but has been there for about a month.  is this something to be concerned about

Accepted Answer

Likely not: If you are otherwise healthy, this spot is likely due to a benign process such as blood vessel proliferation or sun damage. Have your primary care doc take a look at it, especially if it enlarges or becomes irregularly colored or shaped.

Question 8

woke up this morning with a purple spot on my lower lip. it does not disappear when compressed and is flat so could this be a venous lake or more likely something else? wasnt there the day before?

Accepted Answer

: Probably due to recent trauma, a purpuric lesion is what it appears to be. Would just observe this for several days to see if it gradually disappears. Should it become larger and more prominent, you should see your dermatologist for evaluation. A venous lake would tend to disappear when compressed.

Question 9

hx of melanoma. 3 year hx of blue/purple spot on lower lip. derm says its hematoma. can it be removed safely?

Accepted Answer

Hemosiderin: I answered this question earlier. The discoloration is from iron pigment deposition. If it is a cosmetic issue, consult a plastic surgeon, otherwise it is harmless.
Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Without seeing and examining you it is impossible to diagnose.  Go see someone, and feel better.
