What Causes Reddish Purple Dots On My Lower Lip?

default
Posted on Fri, 10 Feb 2017
Question: Hello,


Tonight while brushing my teeth, I noticed 2 red/purplish dots on my lower lip. The dots do not protrude from skin- nothing oozes out of them and they are not painful. I have never seen this before. I thought maybe they were pieces of food I ate, but no, I couldn't get rid of them.
