Is Having Purple-cyst Below Lower Lip Is Normal?

I have a small purple-ish cyst below my lower right #3 which is painless and has been present for over a year. Now I have developed a purple-ish discolouration on the lower lip below and there is tenderness in my lower right mandible. Is this ok? Thank you.

Hi! thanks for writing to us and sharing the details of the purple-cyst below lower lip! No this is neither normal nor anything serious to worry about!

Well, if I were your family physician, I would think of three possibilities in your case like:

1. a retention type cyst of minor salivary gland

2. a mole

3. pyogenic granuloma or a hemangioma



Only clinical examination along with an FNAC test/biopsy could confirm the nature of this lesion; therefore see your doctor for this and revert back to us if necessary!

Hope you got the answer; wishing you good health...
