Hello everyone,

I am a 27 yrs old female who smoked for many years, I had recently quit smoking and I feel much better now about my health.

However, a week ago, I started to realize that my lips are very very dry with skin peeling off. And there is a lump on my upper lip, a little off center to the right. It looks and feels like a pimple/blister. The center of it is darker, and the lump is painful to the touch like a pimple. But it also has this general numb feeling around it.

My question is can this be lip cancer? or is it from the winter wind or burn from hot drinks?

i try to read up on lip cancer...but most mentioned that it occurs on the lower lip. is it true?

please advice,

worry one
