Hi there,

I am new here. 45yr female, never smoked, light drinker, assume HPV negative. I went to an oral surgeon today about a lump on the inner bottom lip. It is skin coloured/pink, soft, moveable and about 1cm and might have been there more than a year. I know, I should have got it checked out sooner. The dentist thought it was a mucocele but the oral surgeon said possibly but that it had some fibrous texture on top.

I guess I just wanted to put this out here in case anyone has been through similar with a positive outcome. I'm pretty sure it will be benign. Well 90% of the time. The other 10% I freak myself out with worry. The suurgeon said he "would be surprised" if it wasn't benign. I'd rather he hd said it"definitely isn't bad" but I guess he can'tt say that until it is tested.
