A member asked:
I have a small, slightly painful to the touch purplish bump on my lip. no history of cold sores and no new contact that would have led to herpes virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Watch it: Could be a blood blister that will go away. If it doesn‘t or occurs again and again, see ENT or any doctor that could excise it. It could be a mucocele then.
