A member asked:
If it was a mucocele how would you remove it without surgery?

Mucocele: In my opinion ,mucocele will need a surgical excision. if it is drained it runs the risk of reforming. your doctor may inject steroids in the lesion and that may help in some cases .but even that is a invasive procedure!!
