Suggest Treatment For Small Itchy Bumps On The Lips

So lately I ve been getting these bumps on my lips. I ve been to the doctor and they ve told me it wasn t herpes so I don t have an idea what it could be. The bump starts off small and has a black dot in the center. The area around it swells up and gets a little bigger each day until the black part turns into a scab and comes off. Sometime Right after one heals another comes right after in a different spot on my lip. It s really irritating not knowing what it is. Maybe you guys can help

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern.

There could be many causes of bumps like minor trauma or contagious like herpes,cancker or allergic etc.
Treatment is mainly depend upon the underlying cause .
Consult dermatologist for proper examination of the bumps.
I would suggest you to :-
Maintain good oral hygiene and avoid hot and spicy foods.
Antihistamines drugs to combat allergic cause.
Take folic acid with vitamin b complex supplement .
Give cold compresses twice a day which help in reducing swelling.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
