What Are The Symptoms Of Lip Cancer?

I had a dome shaped pink bump on my inner lower lip, it stayed the same size and shape for about 2 weeks. The 3rd week the shape went from dome shaped to almost the shape of a tiny bullet. Its about 1mm-3mm and today there is some purplish discoloration around the bump, and also the bump has taken a white color. I went to the dr and he removed the bump and I have 3 stitches. However he never said what it was. Could this be lip cancer? A mucocele cyst? It scared me because it changed the shape and color. I did accidentally bite it several times and had a hard time not picking at it. Should i be ok since it was removed?

Hi
It was most probably a mucocele .. and definately not cancerous for your doctor would have certainly made you go through a lot of screening if he suspected the same . lip mucocele are commmon and whitish growth like you mentioned, but i do want you to know that they may be recurrent in many cases . since you
have got it removed you will be ok rest assured and it certainly aint cancer . do not worry . take care .
