Can a mucocele appear on the outside of the bottom lip ?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not likely: A mucocele forms where salivary glands are present. Your dentist or a dermatologist will be able to help figure out what it is. If it is painful or doesn't go away within a week you should see your practitioner of choice. Hope this helps!

No: Mucoceles often show up on the inside of your lower lips, your gums, the roof of your mouth.
