What Is A Small Bump On My Inner Lip?
I have a small bump. skin tag, on my inner lip. at first I thought it was a canker sore till it didn't go away for over a month, it's the second month I had it. it's annoying but it doesn't hurt or have feeling. it's white tipped and flesh color and very small like a pimple. what this and should I be worried?

Hi,
The lesion on labia minora you described would be milia. It is a small cystic lesion containing white cheesy material. It is a benign condition. It may be removed by electrocautery done under local anaesthesia in OPD. Or simple needle may be be pricked on the lesion and the material is evacuated by currette. To avoid secondary infection,antibiotic may be taken for short period. But, you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
