Suggest Treatment For Painful Skin Tag Inside The Lips
Question: Good Evening - I have what looks like a "skin tag" on the inside of my lower lip, I just noticed it a couple of days ago - it is not sore and does not impede my ability to eat, chew etc. but I know it is there. If I need to have some look at it - what specialist should I call, dentist, oral specialist, dermatologist ?
Brief Answer:
Burns, fungal infection, consult an oral physician
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The white tag or pseudo membrane over the lip can be because of either burns following consumption of hot food.The other possible cause can be a fungal infection. Nothing to be panic, you can consult an oral physician/denstist and get it evaluated. Kindly upload the images of the list and white tissue tags, so that I can give you the exact diagnosis and treatment plan.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have any queries reply me back. Take care
