Baller,

I am a 38yo male who had a zit-looking lump on the outer side of my lower lip. It would seem to shrink some days and get bigger on others. It didn't really bother me unless I hit it with a fork or spoon while eating. After several months, I went to my dermatologist and had it removed. She called me last week to tell me it was cancerous and set me up with an ENT. I go tomorrow.

Please don't wait any longer! Get to your dentist or family doctor and get it checked out! I have a 16yo son, and I will make sure that he knows to hit the doctor's office with anything unusual.

As others here will tell you, they are here to help. Trust me, there are wonderful people on here. I am sure that others here will echo my sentiments to drop what you are doing and get to the doctor now.

Keep us posted on what happens.
