Question 1

i have a red dot on my lip, how can i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Laser or surgical: You probably have a vascular lesion such as an angioma or pyogenic granuloma. These can be removed scarlessly with a vascular lesion laser. If the lesion is larger, an excision will need to be done to get a biopsy and make sure it isn't a skin cancer. Go see a dermatologist.

Question 2

i have a red dot on my upper lip.it appeared out of nowhere. is this something to worry about? if i stretch my lip or press on it, it goes away.

Accepted Answer

Dot: It sounds like a small venous pool and is not serious at all.

Question 3

i have a dark red dot on my lower lip it does not hurt. its not a bubble or blister .i want to cure it could someone help.

Accepted Answer

Leave it alone: This may be a small hemagiona. It can be treated if  you want it off, but you will need professional care. See a derm doc if you want it off.

Question 4

hello, i have had a red dot on my bottom lip in the middle which is not going away and i dont know what it is. it is not painful not swollen its just there i can feel a little lump with my tongue but it is literally the size of a dot?

Accepted Answer

Prominent dot on lip: It may be a prominent vessel on the lip or a small hemangioma.  I would not worry about it unless it gets bigger.  I can be easily excised in the office if it really bothers you.  Good luck and feel better

Question 5

all day was great till at around 9 pm i go to the bathroom look in the mirror & i have a tiny red dot on my upper lip. it's not acne or cold sore. ?

Accepted Answer

Nondiagnostic: This spot is nonspecific at this time. It may evolve into something like a cold sore. See your Physician if it persists or worsens.

Question 6

i am experiencing  skin redness or irritation around my lips after i eat, laugh, even kiss. this redness, when i'm not eating etc, is a brown pigmented line which looks like a distorted lip liner. this started 6 years ago as a small brown dot.

Accepted Answer

Melanin: It is possible that the small brown dot that initially appeared was melanin, the substance that is responsible for pigmentation in the skin and tissues of the body. The melanocytes are cells that produce melanin and some people can have brown pigmentation in the lips, as well as the tissues of the mouth.

Question 7

Question 9

red dot on lip started bleeding. takes a bit to stop. had it for almost 10 years.  bleeds off and on. what is it and can i get rid of it.

Accepted Answer

Wait no more.: I think that 10 years is long enough to be dealing with this issue. It could be an issue caused by several things with varying degrees of severity. You need to be seen by a dermatologist for a hands on evaluation.

Question 10

reacurring red dot/spots  in  my month on inside cheek and inside lip. with a white head. not painful. that last for 3 daydays max.  what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Mouth: Could be caused by dental trauma in those areas, minor salivary gland enlargement implying you dont drink enough water, local trauma from hot foods. When they come go see and ENT or oral surgeon to check them out
