Hi all,
I'm very glad to have found this site and wonder if someone could provide me with some advice please.
I've had a lump in my bottom lip since July. I think it started as a mouth ulcer and for a while I kept biting it when I was eating and it hurt. It is now painless and is a lump which is in my lip with a white lump on top which I have bit a few times and it bleeds. I am terrified that it is cancer. I've finally managed to get an appointment to see the dentist this week as my GP said it was them I needed to see.
I don't drink alcohol and I don't smoke (did for about 3years about 4 years ago) and I'm generally a fit and healthy 27 years old.
Does anyone have any thoughts or advice or similar tales to help me please?!

Hello magic

It is probably a scar in the lip following the ulcer aggravated by trauma from repeatedly biting it. The skin can appear white from rubbing against your teeth as it catches. Do let us know what your dentist says.

Hi there,
I saw the dentist and as you said, he said it was scar tissue which is continuing to grow from me messing with it. The problem is the position of it means it constantly rubs against my teeth meaning it is continously getting aggrevated and feels like its getting bigger.
He is referring me to the hospital to have it removed, btu the wait might be a good few months. It is really bothering me now because it is so visible due to its position.
Anyone have any idea how much it costs to get it treated privately please?
