Suggest Treatment For The Lump In My Lower Lip

I have a bump on my lower lip that (at first) appeared to be a cold sore, but is below the lip line and keeps growing. It is getting wider and is very sensitive to the touch. I no longer think it is a cold sore, but I do not know if it is serious enough to go to the doctor. I was using Abreva on it. That usually works good for cold sores, but instead it is getting larger and is heading downward instead of on my lip. Can you help?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of lower lip nodule, I would consider infection of minor salivary gland in the lips causing a chronic abscess formation and this needs examination by a general surgeon and if still you are not convinced enough I would suggest you to go for an FNAC of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
