How To Treat A Small Hernia At The Bottom Of The Lip?

Hi.I have what seems to appear like a small hernia on my bottom lip. Its a vein which is dark blue and very near the surface of the lip. Sometimes it's swollen and appears bluer. It happened while my orthodontist was fitting a wire and my lip got caught between a bracket and the wire. How can I gat rid of this?

Your advice would be much appreciated.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the he swollen area could be because of trauma causing mucocele, once it ruptures it leaves a tissue tag kind of thing. nothing to worry. apply topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel or mucopain gel. avoid trauma or injury to that area. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
