What Causes A Painless Lump In The Lip?
Question: I noticed a tiny pinhead sized bump on my bottom outside lip. It was flesh colored, painless a bit hard and it wasn't visible but I could feel it when I ran my tongue over it. Thinking it was some sort of pimple I pulled the top off and now I have a tiny black dryed out crater dot on my lip. Not bleeding...not swollen...just annoying.
