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.
What Does A Purple Spot On The Tip Of The Tongue Indicate?
I recently had some dental done on front teeth and an implant on a bottom back tooth. It was done on Tuesday and now it is Friday. I have a very purple spot on the tip of my tongue the size of a dime. Could this be from the procedure or should I be concerned? Thanks Kristi Jansen
As per your complain as your daughter is having a cyst n her upper lip that is present since 2 weeks of birth and is still present and getting bigger then it can be probably due to cause causes like sebaceous cyst, dermoid/epidermoid cyst etc..
Although all these conditions are harmless and will not turn into anything malignant but at times they are aesthetically unpleasant and needs removal..
As it is increasing in size, therefore it has to be removed surgically as it can not be resolved by conservative means..
So it is better to consult a Paediatric surgeon and get evaluated and can proceed for the surgery..
Hope this helps..
Regards.
