What Causes Bruises Below Lower Lip And Boils In Mouth?

This afternoon I glanced in the mirror and thought I had a smudge of dirt below my lower lip. It is about the size of a dime. I looked inside my mouth at my lower lip and there is a bright red spot that has a small bump. The dirt smudge is a bruise. I have not bumped my mouth at all. This is strange. Any idea what it could be?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain a bruise below lower lip can be due to infection n that area caused due to clogging of glands or hairfollicle infection it can also be due to any insect bite, vigorous rubbing of the area to itch or unnoticed trauma..

A red area inside mouth that is having a bump can be an apthous ulcer..
I would suggest you to do alternate warm and cool compresses over the bruise..
You can also apply Heparin gel over it..
For bump inside mouth, if there is pain you can apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine..
You can also do cool compresses over it..
Take Vitamin B complex for a week.
In case if there is no improvement consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
