Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a dark lump under the skin of my lower lip. It appeared all of a sudden about three years ago when l was living in Singapore. l thought it was a mosquito bite in a bad place as l received a lot of mosquito bites at the time. Recently it has become tender. Thanks
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. The dark lump on the lower lip can be a fibrosed hematoma or a mucocle, which occurs secondary to trauma. Nothing to be panic,consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is troubling you, then it needs to be surgically removed under local anesthesia. I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
