Suggest Remedy For Sore On The Inner Lip
my 9 yr old just brought to my attention a sore on inner lip about 1/2 inch in diameter and almost 1/2 inch thick. no pain, no redness, no puss, no fluid. just a bubble looking thing on inner lip and looks as rest of inner lip does and feels the same. no hardness to it. he says he has it several weeks and started out small and i guess been growing in size for past 4 weeks approx. does not make outer lip look any bigger or deformed at all.

Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
This is most probably a mucus retention cyst.Usually it resolves its own or undergoes traumatic rupture. But may cause frequent recurrence, in which case we may have to remove the affected gland.
A dental surgeon or ent surgeon can help you.
Thank you.
