A member asked:

My boyfriend sucked on my bottom lip really hard now theres a lump thats kinda purple on my lip ? can you please explain what this could be ?

Hematoma: The lips are vascular meaning they have a high blood supply. You have a hematoma which is a swelled bruise. It will go away most likely without any problems. Putting a hot pack on it will speed up the recovery.
