What Causes A Lip Lump With Bleeding And Scabbing?

I have had a slight bump on the left side of my lower lip for some time. I understand this is quite common in older folks (I am in my eighties). Last night my lower lip on the right side began to bleed profusely. I was able to staunch the blood flow and now there is a very small scab in that spot. Is this related to the bump on the left side and should I be concerned at all?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have slight bump on lower lip along with bleeding and scabbing which is mainly due to lip biting which is leading to formation of hemangioma , it could be due to minor salivary glands rupture in lips and it could be due to mucocele. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to apply lubricating petroleum jelly on lips. You should drink 7-8 glasses of water daily. You should visit oral physician once and get it examined. Go for fine needle aspiration cytology of these lumps for proper evaluation and diagnosis and start treatment accordingly. Apply moisturizing agent on lips. Avoid exposure to sun light a sit will leads to more peeling. Apply apple cedar vinegar with the help of cotton to prevent bleeding and fasten healing.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
