A member asked:

I have this strange bump on my lip, it's not a cold sore so what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly a mucocele: This may be a mucocele but it would be best to have an otolaryngologist check your lip. You need an exact diagnosis and need to be sure that this is benign.
