Can a mucocele be hard&firm?i have small 3mm lump inside lower lip,been there for 2 years,hasn't grown.most mucoceles i have seen are soft. 25 yrs old

Mucocele : I agree most mucoceles are relatively soft. If this occurred from biting your lip, it could be a more hard fibrous lesion called a fibroma. Not likely to be anything serious but should see a doctor to check it out.

I have had what I think is a mucocele on my lower lip for years now. It's also quite large. No one seems to know who I should see to have it removed. My oral surgeon would not. I would like to get rid of it, as I have difficulty speaking sometimes?

I have a white bump on my bottom inner lip it hurts when I try to eat and it's small. Now I did recently bite my lip but I looked it up and it seems I have a Mucocele but in other cases, there's don't hurt and mine hurts like hell so maybe it's not?
