Sorry to just abruptly appear out of nowhere but i have certain things that are really really worrying me. For some 2 month i have raised bump on my upper lip. It's painless, looks a bit like a pimple and it's not changing in size as far as i can notice. I can't squeeze it out or anything and it basically doesn't bother me except in a way that i'm worried what it is. It's rather small, and doctor had trouble noticing it when i pointed it. It's softish and coloured like the skin with a tint of red. So any ideas what could it be?
I stumbled here because for the last couple of days i have trouble swallowing as well, but it could be due to using Corsodyl as a mouthwash. Also I've noticed small change in bite but the my dentist said i just have a beginning state of periodontitis and that deep cleaning should sort it out (i'm booked for one next week).
As you can see i have a bit of symptoms for oc and i'm naturally worried. could these sympotms be interconnected?

I went to a gp yesterday but she didn't even take me seriously, said it's nothing, and that it'll go away. of course i wasn't really satisfied with that answer. i'll definitely go to get second opinion, but any ideas what it could be until i go to next apointment, as i'm terribly scared. what should i do?
Thanks for answering!

Hi Rodrigo

Please don't jump to conclusions - they may be the wrong ones. Your GP should know if there is a real problem and you are doing the right thing, if you are still worried to seek a 2nd opinion - nothing wrong in that. You could also re-visit your dentist to inquire if the mouthwash is affecting you adversely.
I would suggest that you didn't search the internet for answers as such or you could imagine you have all the dreaded illnesses that begin with a pimple.
Take a deep breath, step back and tackle things in a cool calculated manner and don't worry about what it might be until you have been diagnosed with a real problem.

Good luck - Pete

thank for your answer, it was really smart!
i would love to read what others of you think i have as i'm still worried but slightly less because i just went to my dentist and asked about it and after seeing it he said that it's 99% percent nothing, probably just a cyst or something and that i shouldn't worry about it.

anyway, since he probably noticed that i'm dead scared and he said that if i want i could go to specials to see what this really is so my heart can be at ease - i'll definitely there next week go as you can guess and try not to think about it til then.pray to god it really is nothing serious.
