Have Cyst On Cleft Lip. Should I Be Worried?
Question: Hi
I have a cyst on the cleft of my lip it just appeared suddenly it is really hard and when I try to squeeze it nothing comes out ... What can it be it doesn't hurt or bother me it doesn't even show unless I bite on my upper lip it's the size of a pimple... What can it be I'm just curious because it appeared suddenly and I'm just worried it might be something which I am ignoring because it doesnt bother. Thank you for any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
The condition you are describing can be granuloma,simpler cyst, retention cyst of minor salivary glands, papilloma etc.
Also I would like to know-
Is there any pain /soreness?
Is it growing or static?
Does it bleed?
Since when you have this?
Can you upload the photographs of the affected area ?
Upload the photos and answer the questions and we can continue the discussion here.
Hope this helps .

Thanks for the reply... No its not causing me any pain, it isn't growing and also it doesn't bleed. It looks a lot like a pimple but is extremely hard and having had a cyst on my eyelid before it looks a lot like it.. what should I do for it? should I be worried?
Hi XXXXXXX
Ive gone through the details and the image you uploaded.It appears like a keloid or hypertrophic scar.If its not causing any symptoms it is better left alone .Nothing much needs to be done if its not growing and not causing symptoms.
If you want to get it treated a small intralesional injection of steroid would have to be given.Other option would be to get it excised by small surgery.
My advise would be to wait for few months and
See for spontaneous resolution.
