I’ve Had Growth On My Lip For Approximately 18 Months.
Question: I’ve had growth on my lip for approximately 18 months. It’s sometimes the colour of my lip, but sometimes purple. It began as a small red pinprick sized dot and is now considerably bigger. It has not increased in size for approximately a year.
My GP has dismissed it without offering an explanation of what it is or how I can treat it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve uploaded a photo.
I also thought I’d add, it increases in size with trauma, for example when I try to pop it, but it then reduces back to the size in the photo.
I’ve also tried to put a pin through it, it bleeds as you’d expect, but there is no other discharge.

Brief Answer:
Angiokeratoma or pyogenic granuloma
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it seems to be either angiokeratoma or pyogenic granuloma.
These are benign vascular lesions.
I would recommend you to consult a doctor and get it removed by electrocautery or radio frequency ablation.
It is a minor office procedure requiring 15-20 minutes.
