Lumps in lips
 Login/Join 
Posted
Hi,

Does anyone know what these are I have had them for a long time inside my mouth on my top and bottom lips, I have some small lumps inside the lips some are small and some a a little bit bigger and if I touch them with my tongue some will move about a bit and some do not, any ideas what they are or what they could be?

Thankyou for any replies

Hi MR T,

I wouldn't guess if it was me, i would get them checked out with your dentist who will refer you to a head and neck specialist if further tests are needed, its probably nothing but you do need to see a professional.Good luck.

It is not possible yo make a diagnosis over the Internet. The lumps in the lip are most probably minor salivary glands or possibly Fordyce granules. Please see your dentist for a proper diagnosis if you are concerned.

I have had them a long time there in the middle of my top and bottom lips in front of my teeth there are so many on my top and bottom lips inside the flesh and cannot be seen with a mirror, I can only feel them if I touch them with my toungue or finger. Maybe there are surpose to be there?
