Painful Lump In The Lower Lip. Pulsating Sensation. Cold Sore?
I have woken up with a small lump on the middle of my lower lip . It isn t painful but it feels to have a slight pulsating sensation. It is visible in a mirror a a small red bump. I have had a coldsore once before about 8 months ago, however I don t know much about them and didn t know they would form in the middle of my lip
Hi ! Have you had any history of trauma to your lip. In that case, possibly it not a cold sore, but a hemangioma ( growth arising from a vessel), which may be pulsating along with the vascular pulsation.I would suggest to get yourself reviewed by a general surgeon and not to fiddle with it to avoid any bleeding from the lesion. Wishing you an early recovery.
