Suggest Treatment For Mucus Cyst On Lips
Hi,A year ago a mucus cyst developed on the inside of my bottom lip. I consulted a specialist and got the cyst surgically removed soon after. Months after my surgery I felt like the cyst may be coming back so went back to my surgeon who reassured me some scar tissue had developed, which was disappointing, but nothing to worry about. Whenever I consume marijuana,which is very rarely, I feel as though the area where I had the cyst removed begins to swell up in size, if only for a couple of hours. Can you help me with this? I'm not sure what it could mean and whether it might bring it back on?
Thank you,
Karla

Dear Carla,
avoid marijuana. Maybe it supresses your imune sistem or some other smoking material is creating "local alergic" reaction. Even fungus like Candida is posiable, so you sholud check that with doctor, to take swab in mouth.
All te best.
