Have Bump Under Chin Between Lower Lip, Painful. What It Could Be?
I have a bump under my chin between my lower lip and I just go it yesterday. It feels like a pimple but much more painful in a way and always fells like a bruise . I m wondering what it could be, I know it s not a pimple because I can t pop or even attemp to pop it because its very painful. What is this mysterious bump on my chin?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Bump under lower lip, very painful usually suggests sebacious cyst or infected gland. Give warm compression, dont handle or dont pop it, wash it with soap(to clear oil), you can take anti inflamatory drug like paracetamol 650 mg for pain. If infected and have signs of inflammation in that region then take antibiotic.Consult your doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
Dr. Lohit
