Inside Lip Lump

Yesterday I developed a large bump on the inside of my lower lip. It definitely wasnt there before yesterday. It is red and about a quarter inch long and maybe an eight inch wide. It doesnt really hurt...but I can feel it all day. I don't rememeber biting it or burning it...any ideas on what it could be?

Hello wckdtrix

It is a bit early to worry about a mouth cancer, I think. The likeliest cause for a swelling in the lower lip is trauma (e.g. subconscious biting of the lip, among other things). Sometimes, an allergy can cause it. See your doctor about it if it doesn't improve (or gets worse) in the next 5–7 days. Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes
