Hello Laxman

It is most probably not cancer but are salivary gland tissue in the lip. Please see your dentist for an opinion. Let us know how you get on.

Soapbox Tobacco use in any form will increase your risk of getting mouth cancer, so do don't do it!

another thing that i forgot to mention is that the lumps are barely visible, i went to the dentist the other day and i forgot to ask about the lumps, but she didnt even notice anything and said that i have one healthy mouth, i just thought that i would add that as well
