Bump Lining A Part Of Lower Lip, Not Visible, Itching, Wet On Touching. Herpes?
I have a bump lining a part of my lower lip . It isn t very visible unless you look closely, and this morning it was itching, but not very much. If I touch it, I can feel something wet, supposedly pus . I don t think it is herpes , I have not been sexually active, or have ever been. I want to be reassured it is not herpes though, because a guy unexpectedly kissed me a week or two ago, but to what I know of he does not have herpes. The bump thing is not swelling .

Hello,
The ulcerated bump lining the lower lip may be due to -
Herpetic lesions transmitted while kissing.
Lip biting habit due to proclined upper front teeth.
I would suggest you to apply lignocaine gel on the affected site.
Swish with warm saline frequently.
Maintain oral care well.
Avoid spicy foods.
Vitamin becosules as well as iron supplements has to be administered.
Hope this helps.
