What Causes A Small Numb Red Spot On Lip?
Question: I have a very small red dot on my lower lip line. I can barely feel it when I touch it. I have had cold sores many times over the years and I know this is not a cold sore. There is no tingling or burning sensation. There is no sensation at all. My general practitioner says she does not know what it is. I have had all the tests run for sexually transmitted diseases and have come out clean. Any ideas?
