Hard bump on lower lip
Hi all, I have had this small bump on my lower lip for a few months now. It doesn't hurt or itch. No pus coming out..it's just kind of there....It looks like it has sort of a yellow center to it. Iv'e tried popping it and picking it at...Nothing. Does anyone know what this is?

Hello,
This lump can be a small cyst, hematoma, mucocele (if present on the inside of lower lip) or a benign growth of the lips. Since the lump is painless and not changing in size, all these possibilities need to be evaluated.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
