[UPDATE: 03.29.2006 22:37] Es evidente que hay una gran discusión pasa sobre este tema, así que tengo comentarios de esta entrada con discapacidad, y dedicó un foro para los mucoceles. Usted lo puede encontrar en LumpInMouth.com . Por favor, comparta sus experiencias!

[ACTUALIZACIÓN: 09/15/2008] he resumido lo que he aprendido desde que escribo este post en un especial de mucocele sección del sitio.

Justo antes de Año Nuevo, me di cuenta de un bulto en el interior de mi labio inferior. Ahora bien, ser el hipocondríaco que soy, yo estaba petrificado natural que tenía cáncer oral . ¿Por qué? Ciertamente no estoy en situación de riesgo. No tengo antecedentes familiares de cáncer. Tengo 25, no un fumador o masticador, y estoy por lo demás sanos. Debido a que cualquier búsqueda en Google de "nudo en la boca" o protuberancia en el labio es probable que incluso una persona razonable convencido de que es un signo seguro de cáncer oral.

Afortunadamente, no tengo cáncer - bueno, al menos no en que el crecimiento que estaba en mi boca. Resulta que había un mucocele , que es una especie de quiste de retención mucosa , y es aparentemente bastante común, o al menos es un cirujano oral. Es curioso, sin embargo, que si buscar el síntoma: "nudo en la boca", junto con mi diagnóstico: mucocele, en Google , obtendrá cero páginas. Hasta ahora. Incluso la página de mucoceles sigo ligarse a lo describe como una estructura transparente ". ¿Quién va a ir al médico y decir: "Tengo una estructura en la boca?" Así que para todos ustedes gente ahí fuera que están desesperados por eso bulto en la boca. No recibir consejos de salud de mí. Vaya a ver a su médico. Pero podría ser simplemente un mucocele.

Así que aquí es casi exactamente lo que hicieron sobre mi Mucocele (advertencia: imágenes en cifras brutas) . Le tomó unos diez minutos, y acaban de utilizar novocaína, seguido por el ibuprofeno para aliviar el dolor. Yo tenía que comer mucha sopa para un par de días, y me dolió a sonreír un poco después. Esto se solucionan con facilidad pellizcar las mejillas, junto con mi mano cuando me sonrió, que parecía ridículo e hizo reír a la gente, que me hizo reír, así que tuve que pellizcar más difícil y yo nos miramos más ridículo - era bastante el círculo vicioso. Estaba listo para comer nachos con gusto después de unos cinco días.

Ellos hicieron una biopsia, sólo como medida de precaución, y fue bastante divertido:

Múltiples secciones muestran epitelio escamoso estratificado que cubre el tejido fibro-colágeno que contiene lagos de material mucinoso. polimorfos viables y necróticas y los linfocitos son atrapadas en la mucina. Regional de la glándula mucosa lóbulos exhibiendo ectasia ductal, la degeneración acinar, fibrosis estromal y un infiltrado de linfocitos y células plasmáticas también se ven. Regional de haces musculares estriadas se observó también en el estroma.

Luego estaba la parte importante:

Diagnóstico
Mucocele

Así que vivir unos días más.

Ah, y aquí está mi obra buena semántica para el día:
Bulto en la Boca
Protuberancia en los labios

Si usted piensa que tiene un mucocele, debería ver a un dentista o un médico. Ahora mismo puede ser un buen momento para conseguir un plan de seguro médico , o un plan de atención dental .

lagos??? ¿Qué tan grande es tu boca? ¿Está a menudo en comparación con Steven Tyler o Mick Jagger?

Hola. Acabo de regresar de la cita con mi médico y por primera vez en mis 23 años he escuchado la palabra mucocele. Lo he tenido durante más de cinco meses y dos veces cuando me llamó para hacer una cita con el sistema de salud universitario, básicamente me dijo que esperara sólo para que se vaya desde que era lo describe como un afta. Me identifico con su historia. Espero que la cirugía no es doloroso para mí. Gracias por compartir tus pensamientos.
Kadavy dijo:
10 de febrero 2005 @ 22:54
Cinco meses! ¡Santo cielo! Yo tenía el mío durante dos semanas, y fue tan grande que apenas podía soportarlo (1 cm). No se preocupe acerca de la cirugía, no es realmente una gran cosa. Es una buena excusa para mentir en el sofá por un tiempo y ver películas

Me acaban de diagnosticar lo mismo-musocele que estaba en la parte superior de la espalda de mi boca. Mi garganta estaba sangrando, y así que estaba realmente asustada y se fue a emegency. El médico nos ha dicho que puede haber sangre en el mucocele, que él dijo que yo tenía y que no era nada de qué preocuparse.
Laura dijo:
10 de marzo 2005 @ 11:50 am
Mi hija ha sido diagnosticado con un mucocele en el labio inferior. Los médicos recomiendan la extirpación con anestesia general, lo que parece extremo para mí.
¿Con qué frecuencia se le quitaron sólo con anestesia local?
Kadavy dijo:
10 de marzo 2005 @ 11:59 am
Sí, Laura, que sí parece extremo para mí, pero yo no soy un experto médico. Usted tendría que hablar con una para tener una idea de la frecuencia con que utilizan anestesia general.
Lo único que sé es que ellos dijeron, "¡Oh, esos no son gran cosa. Por lo general, las retirará con sólo anestesia local. "Fue una prueba dura, aparentemente de menor importancia que se ofreció a retirar durante mi primera visita. Resultó que estaban demasiado ocupados sin embargo.

Enterarse de que me basta con un mucocele es un alivio dulce, dulce. Soy estudiante y estaba en el hospital hoy para mi rotaciones cuando vi a un niño en tratamiento por una. Yo estaba como, "hey tengo eso también!" Y se sentía como un completo idiota, pero estoy muy aliviado al saber que no tengo cáncer de boca o algo igual de aterradora. Fui a un médico hace unas semanas, y la señora agotó y me dijo que era sólo una herida que se muerda la boca y que se iría. Bueno, todavía no se ha ido y he drenado yo mismo un par de veces. Ahora entiendo por qué las secreciones se ven exactamente como la saliva, porque lo es!
Me hace vertiginoso saber los médicos que encogerse de hombros como algo tan fuera menor de edad, cuando he estado obsesionado con él para el último mes y medio. Gracias por publicar sus imágenes del procedimiento así que voy a saber qué esperar. Parece bastante sencillo.

Tengo un mucoclele y me dijeron simplemente con mi cirujano oral que he tenido el más grande mucocele que había visto nunca. Esa opinión fue secundada por mi PCP. Me siento como un bicho raro. Pero tienes razón, al menos no es el cáncer oral. ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre conseguir el mucocele eliminadas y conseguir que marsupialized?
Kadavy dijo:
03 de mayo 2005 @ 19:32
Más grande que había visto en su vida? ¿Qué tan grande es? Envíanos una foto!
No se sienta como un monstruo, no es gran cosa. No sé nada sobre marupialization o excisation.

¡Qué gran blog! Yo también estaba seguro de que tenía cáncer de boca. Es verdad que cuando google "nudo en la boca", todas estas páginas cáncer de pop-up. Acabo de regresar de la clínica y el médico tomó menos de 0,08 segundos para diagnosticar el mucocele. Ella recomienda que consulte a un cirujano para eliminarlo. El medio-secretaria me dijo que podía ser de 2 semanas para determinar una cita con el cirujano! ¿Eh? (Coger el teléfono de línea ......). sistema canadiense de atención médica pueden ser libres, no ayunan. Bueno, me siento aliviado de que no es cáncer. Puedo respirar más fácil. Gracias por la gran información en este sitio!
Jessica dijo:
23 de mayo 2005 @ 17:32
Tengo un mucocele también. No puedo decir que esas fotos me hizo muy emocionado de tener la eliminación de hecho, pero no va a romper, naturalmente, en este punto. ¿Te han entumecido hasta tal punto que realmente no podía sentir nada? Odio incluso obtener una vacuna pequeña, yo soy tan cobarde. : \
Kadavy dijo:
23 de mayo 2005 @ 19:47
Oh, Jessica, no te preocupes. Lo hicieron adormecer mi para que yo no podía sentir nada, aunque, sí, tuvieron que inyectar un poco de novocaína para hacerlo. Eso no me molesta porque he tenido tantos rellenos hecho en el pasado. Basta con mirar como una oportunidad de comer una gran cantidad de helado y volver a descubrir la sopa. Oye, es mejor que el cáncer!

Me desperté esta mañana con un "bulto" en el interior de mi labio inferior. Definitivamente no estaba allí la noche anterior. Es pequeño y no duele nada, pero es molesto b / c lo puedo sentir el roce de mis dientes y no puedo mantenerme al tocar con mi lengua. No estoy seguro si es lo que tiene, ya no se ve de color azulado. Sólo se ve como un bulto debajo de mi piel. Me pareció irónico que mi tumor está en el mismo lugar que el que había eliminado en sus fotografías. ¿El conseguir a tanto alzado más grandes con el tiempo o simplemente suspender el tamaño es? Soy básicamente pregunto porque no sé si se debe esperar a ver si desaparece por sí solo o si se lo que hacen mal o si debo ver a mi médico lo antes posible. Cualquier ayuda sería apreciada. Gracias.
Kadavy dijo:
25 de mayo 2005 @ 08:14 am
No soy médico, pero que suena como un mucocele para mí. La mía no era ni azul, y parece que es un lugar popular para obtenerlos. Mientras usted duerme es un buen momento para conseguir, porque a veces la gente se muerde el labio en su sueño, lo que da lugar en la glándula salival que se convierte en ruptura de un mucocele. Me sorprendería al oír hablar de ello va desaparecer por sí sola, por lo menos que puede manejar el enojo, lo mejor sería consultar a un médico.

Este blog es increíble. He tenido este nudo en la boca durante semanas (exactamente los mismos que los suyos de las fotos!), Y cada vez que hago una búsqueda en Google sobre "bulto en el labio" todo lo que obtengo son páginas web hablando sobre el cáncer oral. Freaked me out. Estoy tan aliviada ahora. Puedo respirar mucho más fácil.
Gracias una tonelada!
Kadavy dijo:
06 de junio 2005 @ 14:37
Estoy tan feliz de que pude ayudar. Es por eso que escribí este post, ay que yo estaba aterrorizada de que tenía cáncer de boca, y todo era porque las búsquedas Google dio nada de mucoceles.

Hola David,
información muy útil. gracias por eso.
tengo un mucocele en mi boca y mi cirujano oral dice que puedo dejarlo así y no necesito mas que hacer nada.
doesnt tiene que ser eliminado?
gracias

Kadavy dijo:
09 de junio 2005 @ 19:14
Arun,
Eso es bastante interesante. No veo cómo puede haber ninguna necesidad médica para retirarla, pero en mi caso era bastante molesto. Y las cosas más grandes y seguramente habría apoderado de mi rostro el tiempo.

david,
la mía es muy pequeño y apenas se nota a menos que puse mis labios inferiores hacia fuera. así que supongo que tienen que vivir con ella.
Jessica dijo:
11 de junio 2005 @ 18:44
Yo desde luego no le gustaría vivir sólo con uno! Por alguna razón, mientras yo estaba comiendo la cena de ayer me mordí mucocele 12 veces! No he hecho esto por un buen tiempo, y me arrancó un poco de piel fuera de ella, y ahora es una especie de doloroso. Además de eso, es grande y es tan molesto que no puedo imaginar tener que por mucho tiempo. Por desgracia, mi cirujano oral no podía meterme en alrededor de un mes a causa de mi horario loco, tan mío seguirá siendo hasta que 1 de junio!
Kadavy dijo:

Jessica, espero que te refieres 01 de julio y no 11 meses a partir de ahora.

David,
Muchas gracias por la info en esta página! Mi hija de 6 años le había retirado el viernes mucocele, 6/10/05. Ella fue puesto bajo anestesia, creo que hacer para el hecho de ser joven. Su labio es todavía bastante hinchada. ¿Tuvo esto también? Sólo ha sido 5 días ahora, pero parece como si la mayor parte de la inflamación habrá desaparecido. Le agradezco su respuesta.
Esperanza
Kadavy dijo:
15 de junio 2005 @ 22:54
Hola Esperanza,
No es una cosa para una diversión de 6 años de edad que pasar. Para mí, la mayoría de la hinchazón había bajado un plazo de cinco días, aunque los puntos de sutura restringido la flexibilidad de la boca, por lo que es doloroso para sonreír. Pedir el cirujano oral es la mejor opción, sin embargo.
Tyler dijo,
21 de junio 2005 @ 08:43 am
Hola, acabo de tener un mucocele eliminado ayer y voy a decir mi boca duele hoy. Después de la novicaine desapareció hace sentir como si tuvieras un puñetazo en la boca. Mis labios sigue siendo muy hinchada y no me gusta cuando la gente me hacen sonreír o reír porque mata. Abrir la boca para comer un sándwich era una tarea que en sí mismo y doloroso. Así que hoy voy a seguir con sopa o algo que pueda comer con un tenedor o una cuchara.
DAVID, sólo quiero darle las gracias por este sitio y sus imágenes. Después de revisar su sitio yo mismo fui diagnosticado con un cirujano plástico y lo había quitado. Yo estaba tan preocupado de lo que era y su sitio poner mi mente en la facilidad. ¿Cuánto tiempo antes de que el dolor y la hinchazón había desaparecido? Estoy en el trabajo y ahora es difícil concentrarse con el dolor. De todas formas, muchas gracias veo que este sitio ha ayudado a numerosas personas. Usted debe estar orgulloso.
Tyler
Kadavy dijo:

Tyler,
Aunque espero que la gente todavía consultar a los médicos reales cuando se tiene este problema, estoy muy contento de que puedo poner mucocele sufre las mentes en la facilidad. Si sólo esta página han sido aquí cuando me estaba preocupante a la muerte!
Me imagino que usted estará en muy buena forma después de dos semanas. Me sorprende que se haya podido para comer un bocadillo. He disfrutado mucho de probar todos los diferentes sopas en Panera, mientras me recuperaba.

(Solo para aclarar, las fotos que he hecho, me vinculados a encontrar en la web. El tipo más o menos se ajusta a mi descripción, pero no era yo.)

Acabo de tener uno de estos ayer eliminado. No le hace daño a todos ahora, excepto para comer, pero toda mi labio se ha hinchado y parece ser cada vez más grande aún .. Yikes! Tengo que volver a trabajar mañana y voy a sentir muy tonta.
Tyler dijo,
23 de junio 2005 @ 13:32
Yo tenía la mía a cabo los lunes y mis labios aún hinchados y todavía me duele a veces para comer. El dolor ha disminuido mucho, pero la inflamación ha bajado sólo un poco. Hay que volver a la normalidad en una semana ... espero ...
María dijo:
29 de junio 2005 @ 09:35 am
En primer lugar, muchas gracias por la info ... he estado obsesionado con esta cosa de semanas. Pregunta rápida: Después de haber realizado el procedimiento, ¿cuánto tiempo tomará para que los labios para ver normal (donde los clientes no se dará cuenta, en imágenes, etc)?
Kadavy dijo:
29 de junio 2005 @ 24:02
Hola María,
La gente en general no deberían notar después de un par de días, a menos que lo indique a ellos, pero se pone bastante difícil sonreír y comer los alimentos. Esas cosas es más fácil de hacer después de unas dos semanas. Lo mejor de las suertes a usted.
Jessica dijo:
01 de julio 2005 @ 16:07
Hola, sólo quería hacerte saber por fin tuve mi mucocele eliminado hoy! Lo había tenido por lo menos 2 meses, y mi cirujano dijo que era el más grande que jamás haya sacado. Él dijo que siempre son muy pop y liquidy cuando les quita, pero el mío salió como una bola sólida, como una especie de mármol! Tenía un diámetro de 1,5 cm! (Era muy disguisting, él me lo mostró cuando se hizo) Yo soy la reina de wusses, y estoy haciendo muy bien y no sentía nada. Estoy seguro que alegra mi cirujano es cauteloso en cuanto al hecho de que yo soy tan cobarde!
Kadavy dijo:
01 de julio 2005 @ 19:51
Hola Jessica,
Mi mucocele fue alrededor de un centímetro, por lo que debe haber tenido un gran uno. Mina se quedó sólidos, así, sin embargo, y llegué a mirarlo. Claro que deseo que había traído mi cámara.
Buena suerte con tu recuperación! Felicitaciones.

Muchas gracias por publicar esta información. Mi esposo tiene 26 años y ha tenido la misma masa exacta en la boca durante más de un mes. Efectivamente se fue a un cirujano oral y se trataba de un mucocele. He intentado buscar en línea, pero no pude encontrar nada hasta que su página.
Gracias de nuevo!

Estoy muy agradecido que me encontré este sitio web. He encontrado un bulto en el labio hace unos días y yo estaba volviendo loco. Miré las fotos que había en la página web y se ve exactamente igual.
Gracias de nuevo. Espero que esto es lo que es.
Van dijo:
08 de julio 2005 @ 13:45
Gracias por la información útil. Hago belive yo tengo uno de estos. Han pasado casi dos semanas ... y yo estaba muy preocupado. Ahora por lo menos tener una idea de lo que puede haber ahí dentro!
Jessica dijo:
10 de julio 2005 @ 20:07
Por lo tanto, mi puntadas han salido y mi labio sanado muy bien, pero una pregunta ... ¿cuánto tiempo toma para que la sensación de volver a su labio? Ha sido más de una semana y mi labio todavía se encuentre entumecida!
Kadavy dijo:
10 de julio 2005 @ 23:12
Su labio todavía se encuentre entumecida, como si la novocaína estaban todavía en vigor? Puedo imaginar que exista sensación de entumecimiento de la hinchazón, pero que parece bastante extraño. Tal vez usted debe hablar con su cirujano.

mi mucocele apareció de la nada un día y ha durado cerca de 3 semanas. su todavía allí, pero ha sido cada vez más pequeños por su propia cuenta de los últimos días. i was on vacation with a large groups of my friends and started googling lip sores because the cold sore meds i had weren't doing any good (3 cycles of meds) i was totally freaking out. turned out my good friend had the same thing, but i wasn't convinced until i found this site. Thanks, and thank you mucocele
Lori dijo:
July 12, 2005 @ 3:32 pm
I just found your site today and wish I had found it earlier. I second the sentiment on looking up “lump in mouth” on google. That had me really worried. I am having my mucocele removed tomorrow by an ENT surgeon and that is not a moment too soon having had it for 8 weeks now. What kind of dr has everyone else used?
I saw 3 doctors before a 4th (ENT dr) was able to identify it as a mucocele. Two said they did not know what it was at all and one diagnosed it as a fever blister, which I knew it wasn't and told him so, but I still spent the $50 on prescription meds that did nothing for me. That burns me up!
Anyway, thanks for the info on what to expect!

My 3 year old got a fat lip (I thought) three weeks ago, and I noticed on Friday afternoon that it was getting bigger. I freaked out and was a nervous wreck the whole weekend praying that he didn't have mouth cancer. Well, we took him in today and the doctor knew within a minute that it was a mucocele. She said he'd have to go to a plastic surgeon because it's so visible. 3 to 4 months to get him in because no one wants to deal with a pediatric case I guess…It's already huge! Does it stop growing, or is he going to have a 2 lb. lip by the time they get him in? Has anyone had theirs drained?
Kadavy dijo:
July 12, 2005 @ 8:50 pm
Tiffany,
Yes, I would think that it would get bigger. I know my doctor punctured mine one time, and that made it go down for a few days.
Tyler said,
July 13, 2005 @ 5:24 am
hey, i just recently had a dentist appointment, and everything was good, except they told me to floss more. after my dentist appointment a few days later was my 19th birthday so i decided to get my lip pierced. after 4 days, the swelling as gone down, and everything seems normal, except for a lump i have next to the lip. its the size of a pea. im nervous. should i go back to my dentist and get this checked?
Kadavy dijo:
July 13, 2005 @ 8:13 am
Hmm….a lip piercing sounds like a perfect way to get a mucocele. Don't take medical advice from me, but personally, I would see a doctor or dentist.
Jessica dijo:
July 16, 2005 @ 5:34 pm
I talked to my surgeon about the numbness in my lip, and some nerves were definitely damaged or something in the procedure, but he assured me they'll grow back in to that area within 5 months or so. I'm glad of that!
jt said,
July 18, 2005 @ 11:31 am
gracias yall. i don't have insurance…and am a poor grad student. my uncle is my dentist and has been the one to sew me up through out my life. it's good to know that he'll simply be able to carve this thing out of my lip when i see him next week. cheers…..yeah no cancer!
Ann said,
July 19, 2005 @ 3:19 pm
A month on and I have a large numb area too. I've been told that it will *probably* cure itself over the next few months but there is always the chance that it won't. All around the numb area it is sore. I don't think mine has worked very well.. suspiro.

July 20, 2005 @ 12:22 pm
Reading all of these entries made me real comfortable with the removal of my mucocele that's going to take place on thursday (07/28). I must admit that I have had to deal with mine for about two years. I really busted my lip when I ran into the soccer post after scoring a goal (long story). But anyway, same here, when I searched for “lump in mouth” I also received “cancer in mouth” results. Went to numerous doctors and finally found one that was amazingly smart. I didn't even have to show him and he knew what it was. I am a wuss too but reading about everyone that got this done, I am more calm now. Gracias por este sitio. Come to think of it… We're all MUCOCELE FREAKS! LOL!!

Lori dijo:
July 20, 2005 @ 2:25 pm
I had my surgery 8 days ago, the stitches have fallen out and I swear the mucocele is still there. I have a firm lump like before, maybe even a little larger in a slightly different place. Can the surgery cause another mucocele or did he just not get mine?
Kadavy dijo:
July 20, 2005 @ 2:52 pm
Lori,
I would think that surgery would be a prime way to start another mucocele, however, I noticed a similar lump after my surgery, but I assumed it was just scar tissue. I think I was right, because it gradually went away.
Jessica Soucy said,
July 22, 2005 @ 12:12 pm
Lori, I also felt like I had a mucocele still, but just as kadavy said, it is most likely scar tissue. I still have some hard scar tissue, but I was told that will gradually go away and that if I “knead” it it will go away slightly faster.
Amy said,
July 24, 2005 @ 1:26 pm
I had my mucocele removed 2 days ago and my lip is really swollen. How long will it take for the swelling to go down? Also, there is a spot on my lip that is still numb and from reading the above comments, it seems to be damagaged nerves. Is it true that it could be permanent and how long before the numbness will go away?
Amy
Jessica Soucy said,
July 26, 2005 @ 10:52 am
Amy, after I had my surgery it took just under 3 weeks for the swelling to really be gone. It's been a month since I had the surgery now, and I also still have a numb spot. Yes, it is true that it could be permanent, but there is chance the nerves could grow back in within 5 months time.
Paul said,
July 26, 2005 @ 11:14 am
Gran información aquí.
I have been worried about my “lump” for a couple of days. My main concern is that its pretty hard and it dosent feel like it could be drained. It just feels like solid tissue.
Kadavy dijo:
July 26, 2005 @ 11:50 am
Pablo,
Mine didn't feel like it could be drained either. It felt totally solid, however it developed a sort of membrane over it that would fill up with fluid and could be popped.
Amy said,
July 27, 2005 @ 11:11 pm
It has now been 6 days since my surgical removal of the mucocele. Part of my lip is still numb and one of the stitches came apart. There is still a hole/wound there. How long before there is no hole/wound?
Scott dijo:
July 29, 2005 @ 6:38 pm
my doc said it will go away but I didn't think to ask when. I will go back in a couple of weeks and ask some more questions
Lesley said,
August 10, 2005 @ 8:16 am
¡Muchas gracias! I've had the exact same thing on inner lower lip for almost 3 weeks now, and like everyone else, i searched the net and came to inaccurate conclusions such as cancer and hiv!! (I myself am a hypochondriac!!) Even though the surgery doesnt look too fun, youve still given me peace of mind knowing that its nothing serious…Thank you for giving me the wonderful word MUCOCELE to bring to my dentist next week!!! jaja
Lesley said,
August 10, 2005 @ 8:36 am
And so i forgot to ask you what exactly causes these Mucoceles?? Are they associated with any other health problems or diseases?? (Im sure you know where these questions are rooted from, Fellow Hypochondriac!!) Thanks!!!
nate said,
August 11, 2005 @ 1:01 pm
I too had a mucocele… here is the horrible story. I bit my lip and when i say bit my lip, i dont mean a simple OUCH…. i bit my lip and it felt like someone had shot me in the face with a shotgun! Well it was really sore for a few days but the bite mark started to heal. Unfortunately i started to develop some swelling that i didnt think anything of and it started to form into a more circular lump instead of just a fat lip. My first instinct was to go home and take a razor blad to it. Being able to tolerate pain well, i sliced it open and a bunch of liquid-ish stuff came out along with alot of blood. So i thought i just had some sort of blood clot in my lip due to the bite. It instantly went down and felt alot better. A few days later the little bugger was back so i was determined to take care of it once and for all. I sliced it open again and turned my bottom lip inside out pushing on it to get the “lump” out…. i saw a small piece of what i thought was my lip tissue start to stick out, so i grabbed a pair of tweezers and just ripped it out!! OOOUUUUCCCCHHH yeah i hurt and i had a few choice words to say. That was yesterday, so today i woke up with another swollen lip… so i caved and went to the dentist today. He commended me for my surgical procedure saying that somehow i did it well enough to not require stitches. But now i am on some antibiotics and hopefully this swelling will go down and i wont have to have anything else done to it! I will keep my fingers crossed!
Gracias por este sitio! Es genial!

Hello, my name is Chelsea, I am 15, and I have the same problem. I have had it for about 2 years on and off but at first I never thought anything of it because it would come and go. Well, sometime this year it came back and ever since then it hasnt gone away. At my next dentist appointment I asked him about it and he told me what it was and that I had to have it surgically removed!!! I am terrified of needles so you can imagine what my reaction was to the word surgery. I am so scared and my appointment is in September. It is on a thursday and I have to go to school the next day! I haven't worked up the guts to look at the pictures yet but I have read all the comments. Please, somebody talk to me I need sympathy, and I want to know if it will be painful but keep in mind that I am only 15.
Gracias,
Chelsea

David,
just today my 16-year old daughter was diagnosed to have this mucocele thing and was scheduled for excision on Thursday morning. I've seen your photos, did you feel pain after the effects of anesthesia is gone? I'm so worried if my daughter could bear the pain. What I found gross in your photo is the stitching. David I'm really afraid my daughter will feel the pain, she'll be given only local anesthetics.
muchas gracias.

Yes, it did hurt a little after the anesthesia wore off, though I didn't feel a thing during the “surgery.” I just stayed home from work the next day, and ate soup and ice cream and watched my Seinfeld DVD box set. It was actually quite pleasant.

Nate.. Me encanta tu historia. The thought of you excising this little bugger yourself is wonderful. ¡Me encanta! I wish I had your courage.
Too late to say anything to Ammie but really it's no big deal. You don't feel a thing and it's just not a problem. It's only mildly sore afterwards too.
For me, I've got another one developing right on my lip.. on the bit that shows to the world. There's also a kind of tube in the tissue going from it to some distance away which I assume will all need excising. Nice!

I looked into the mirror today and noticed a lump on the line of flesh that is just below the tongue. You know, the thing that is really slimmy and doesn't have much substance to it. It's more like a sack, then a lump. And one side of it is bloody. Pequeña. Doesn't hurt.
I was looking on google and too got scared. Im going to make a docters appointment on Monday and hope it's just what you had. Please pray, I certainly don't want oral cancer.

My mucocele lasted for 5-7 weeks then it started to shrink on its own. It is still present but not very noticeable. I am glad I didn't have the surgery. I think it will be gone on its own in a week or two.

Ammie and Chelsea,
I wouldn't worry about the pain at all. I am a huge wuss, and I hate needles, but they numb your lip up before taking a needle to it for the deeper numbness. It hurt me a little when he had the needle in my lip, but it didn't take long for it all to be totally numb. I closed my eyes for the whole procedure and felt absolutely nothing at all. I never felt any pain at all in my “recovery.” It's really nothing to worry over at all.

My mucocele lasted about 7-8 weeks before it finally started to shrink and disappear.
The dr. said they disappear on their own and that is what happened.

Most all I have read talk about the lump on the inside of the lip. I developed a hard lump on the outside of my lower lip. I tried to pop it, to no avail. Then I tried to dig it out but couldn't. It bled for a long time – thought I was bleeding to death – but eventually stopped and seemed smaller. After several hours, it was just as big. I constantly bite or fool with it and it starts bleeding again and is hard to stop the bleeding. Could this be a mucocele?

My son just went to the dermatologist for a lump a lip that started after he bit down on it hard. The Dr. said that it was a lip polyp and that there is a chance it won't heal by itself. He said he could take it off by cutting it and cauterizing it. Based on most of the experiences I have read here this sounds different. Is there anyone who has been to a dermatologist rather than an oral surgeon? I'm thinking I should probably get a second opinion with an oral surgeon.
I am also curious to know how long individuals recoveries were after the surgery so as to time this appropiately.
Gracias por toda la gran información. Mary Beth

hi all, i recently noticed about 2 weeks ago what apeared to be a fat lip, but a few days later it went away, only to show up a couple days later as a really big canker sour only it wasnt right on my lip like the first one but parrellel to my bottom teeth on the left side… anyhow the first 5 days i constantly rinsed with salt water thinking it was a canker sour, after 5 days it appeared to be going away because it felt softer but its stayed the same size for another 5 days so iwas geting worried and decided to do a google search now im hoping its a mucocele it is like blue bubble with dark viens throughout and a darker shade of red around it, does anyone know if it is simmilar to looking like cancer, im only 21 and i dont want to go into the doctors thinking its a mucocele and then it turn out to be cancer i would be devistated… any thoughts

This is indeed reassuring. I was actually searching for cysts or blisters but never once saw mucocele. Er I did have the same thing.
It was a little strange, started with an annoying bump under my tongue which disappeared! Then that evening suddenly there was one on my bottom lip, i expected that one to disappear like the first. Instead it grew do maybe half a centimeter or less and was sorta hard and rather clear (no blue >This is indeed reassuring. I was actually searching for cysts or blisters but never once saw mucocele.

Wow – thanks for the site. Just had my surgery to remove 2 mucoceles removed. I actually had mine for more than 7 months before they were removed.
Everyone – do yourselves a favor and get to the doctor so that these can be removed! The actually surgery isnt bad but it will leave you with a fat, swollen and blue lip! I'm on day 2 since surgery and am getting by but the stitches make it hard to eat. For those wondering, in my case it wasnt very painful after the surgery. I havent had to use the pain medication yet.

Okay, I'm reading these posts and am wondering if I'm the only one that had a mucocele removed and then it came back?! The doctor said he would dig a little deeper if it turned, but this does not seem to be a common occurrence. Am not looking forward to going back again…
Thanks for this website; it's comforting to know that your'e not the only one with this random problem!

Looks like I have the same thing. Pretty scary at first. I just put a call into an oral surgeon to see about getting it excised. In the meantime, I have been poking a hole in it draining out the fluid in an attempt to try to hold onto my sanity. Loved the story, Nate! The thought of a bottle of rum and the steady hand of my husband has crossed my mind quite a few times. We even have a sterile suture kit! (LOL) Anyhow, thanks for posting this, it certainly puts my mind at ease.

My mucocele lasted for 8 weeks before I went to a DR. to have it excised. I had poked it with a needle to pop it, cut it off with scissors twice, but it always came back. The surgery itself wasn't bad, but for three days after, wow I hurt.(and I'm not much of a wuss)
So it's been a month my lip still has the numb tingling thing going on and I just discoved another one. Next to the scar from the last one.
Went to Dr. today and he is going to remove this one next week. Not looking forward to it at all.
I just don't want to hurt like last time. He took salivary duct and all last time. Has anyone else had a re-occurance like this? Thank-you for this site, pretty informative.

My 6 yr old son has had one of these before and it went away. This morning he woke up w/ a really big one in his upper gum above his front tooth. Today when i picked him up from school, he lifted his lip and said it had popped. I asked him if it hurt, he said it didn't. Now it looks smaller but still a bit of bump there. I have had one more then once under my tounge but it always goes away. What exactly causes these, they are very weird.

Thank you so much for your info on this site. I stumbled upon this tonight after doing a search on “lump in lip”. I definitely think what I have been dealing with since early July is a mucocele.
It first looked a bit like a pimple just inside my lower lip. A couple of times it swelled into a blister and then burst. What I have noticed the past couple weeks is a hardened lump under the surface with a definite bluish tinge.
My question is do you recommend seeing an oral surgeon or a plastic surgeon? My SIL said her sister had a cyst excised from her lip by a surgeon but regrets not having had a plastic surgeon do it. SIL did give me the name of a plastic surgeon. I have just been putting it off but I know I need to have it taken care of.
Gracias de nuevo!

I've had this lump for about a month. I tried Kanka, I tried icing it–nothing helps. Unfortunately for me, I just started a new job, and I have no benefits for the first three months. I'll have to wait out this muceole or whatever the heck it is. Has anyone else tried icing it regularly? Does anyone else notice that theirs is extremely sensitive to heat?

I went to the dentist, he said I had a cyst and sent me to an oral surgeon. I called the surgeon and he said it would be $500. I have health insurance but not dental, so I went to my GP today and he sent me to an Ear, Nose and Throat doc. I am hoping it will be covered. A lot of cysts are considered “cosmetic” and well not be paid for by insurance. Anyone have trouble with this?
I have heard that the lump may go down or away but it will always come back until it is taken out.

I hate the thought of surgery especially (if like in some other stories I have seen on this site) if it has a possibility that another one will grow. I dont know but I need it gone already, I feel like i cant wait any longer. Will it eventually just go away or should i just go to the doctor already???

If you've had it for months then it is unlikely to go away on its own. Surgery is no big deal. I shall begging my doctor to have another go soon because what he has done is brilliant and I now want him to do some more.
Dan dijo:
November 19, 2005 @ 12:46 pm
I also have one!!!
I do have an insurance question for the people that already had it removed.
If you went to a oral surgeon, was it covered by your health insurance or your dental insurance?
My 'general' doctor referred me to a oral surgeon, but this one is not covered by my health insurance.

it's been since september that i've been dealing with a lower lip mucocele/surgery – all gone horribly wrong. first surgery backfired, mucocele came back with a vengence. second surgery, ok for 2 weeks, then 2 more mucoceles came out of the incision site. i feel like a leper – i want to hide. i hate this. now seeing a specialist (an ears/nose/throat/reconstructive surgeon) to see what, if anything, can be done to help me and fix my lower lip. if i had a worst enemy to wish this on, i would. this has been hell and i just want it to go away and be normal again – doubt that will happen. i've pretty much given up hope. sorry for the downer, wish i could post another successful story – thanks for reading.

As someone who suffers from hypochondriasis, I can tell you that you are a hero to me! I found a lump in my lip about 3 weeks ago, and I naturally freaked out. I found your blog and it put my mind at ease (somewhat). I had it removed and it was a mucousele.
I had to wait a week for the biopsy but, without your blog, I am positive that I would have had to been sedated daily!!! Gracias de nuevo!

the e/n/t specialist has scheduled me for surgery..at the hospital..i'll be completely out for this…on monday. he said there's no other option but to cut into my lip (for the third time) and surgically remove the mucocele. one plus is he is a facial reconstruction plastic surgeon so, hopefully, he will be able to make my lip look normal. downside is there is no guarantee this mucocele will not come back. please have a good thought for me – i need it.

¿Cómo limpio. I just came across this, a day before I go into have a mucocele removed from my lower lip. I did a self diagnosis on this, thanks to a few Google searches. Went to the oral surgeon who agreed that it should come off. From the sound of previous folks who have gone under the knife (Or in this case sounds more like it will be a laser), I should anticipate a few days of discomfort, and some funky swelling of the lip? I am heading to the store to stock up on ice cream and soup to wait out the days that follow. At least it will be on a Friday, ready to just chill out over the weekend. I can onloy hope I don't share the same fate as poor Ardy. I was feeling pretty confident until I read that post…..

I had a mucocele come up about 2-3 months ago and it was all liquidy and I popped it, wished I would have had it looked at now because this time it came back and was more firm and bigger.

It has put my mind at rest I had a tumour cut out of my mouth 8 weeks ago they have not told me the name of it but it sounds like a mucocele, it took an hour and my lip is still numb it has come round a little but I am always concious of it. The hospital have told me it is benign. I too till have a hard lump inside my lip which actually feels like it swells up sometimes and worries me. I am going back to the surgeon on Thursday so will keep you posted as to what he says. Hopefully it is only scar tissue as other people have said.

I had a mucocele surgically removed a week ago. Mine was on the inside lower lip for 3 months with a predictable cycle: A small bump would form and continue to expand to a mucous filled cyst. If I bit it accidentally, I'd get the bluish, blood-filled look. Since it was uncomfortable, I'd often pop it with one of my sterile diabetic syringes which provided relief for about a week. The surgery to remove the clogged salivary glands was only half hour. The Doc said he didn't know which one was clogged so he removed them all, and the tissue looked like a tiny cluster of white grapes. Recovery was a little more drastic than I expected – very swollen, and black/blue on the top of my lip was well as the outside skin below my lip. It's still very numb. The Doc mentioned mucoceles can be caused by injury (prior dental work, biting the lip, and even spicey foods) as well as just getting older. He mentioned a recurrance rate at about 30% depending on how much of the clogged salivary glands remain behind. Also, get it taken care of ASAP because my Doc said he noticed a small cavern of scar tissue had formed on the inside of my lip to hold the reservoir of fluids that kept building up. Make that appointment right away!

Man, it's amazing how many people have left messages here, yet it's so hard to find information anywhere else! I'm pretty sure a mucocele is what I have – since the beginning of July. I am a student and have no health insurance so I was hoping it would go away on its own. It just got bigger…hopefully the dentist will be able to remove it on Dec 26th (best Christmas ever!)!
Dan dijo:
December 12, 2005 @ 5:39 am
I have mine for over 2 years and I thought that it was time to have it removed. And the oral surgeon will do so this afternoon.
He looked at it 2 weeks ago and said that it was not very big. But it is still big enough that once in a while I bite on it, and you can also see it is there, when I talk/smile.
The reason that it is somewhat smaller is that the doctor did drain it two times 2 years ago.
Susan said,
December 12, 2005 @ 12:20 pm
pregunta? does anyone else's mucocele appear/reappear frequently? I'm questioning if this is what I have. First of all, seems like everyone else's is on their lip, mine is in the back of my mouth on the inside of my cheek. Secondly, it goes down and then reappears throughout the day. Is this common? At first it was only one lump/bump whatever you want to call it, now it's two right next to eachother. Any response is appreciated
nadia said,

Gran página! I hadn't heard of a mucocele until this morning. I had mine for ~6 weeks and I'd decided it was some kind of blocked saliva gland (not far off) because it didn't seem like cancer
At first I thought it was a canker sore but it just kept getting bigger without ulcerating. At about half a centimeter I drained it myself (as in, scraping it open with my nails), but it would just heal and come right back, over and over again. So finally last week I tried to scrape it really well, but it was back and half a centimeter again…
This morning I went to the student health clinic at school and the doctor knew what it was right away. He said they sometimes go away on their own but it sounded like mine wasn't going to, so they could take it out.
He shot some lidocaine in my lip and scraped it out with a scalpel, closing it with 2 stitches. No specialists, no waiting. I don't have much swelling and unless I pout it actually hurts slightly less than the mucocele did in the first place. (I'm not exactly running out for nachos though!)
The doctor said they were really common and that I didn't need to get any pathology done on it. They let me poke it with the tweezers afterwards which was kind of interesting.
When I got back to my lab and told one of my friends that I just got something cut out of my mouth he said “Like a mucocele?”. I asked him why he didn't tell me about mucoceles 6 weeks earlier

hola. he tenido un mucocele retirado hace 7 semanas en mi labio inferior. después de haber quite los puntos, otro mucocele salió directamente de la cicatriz. ahora yo no quiero tener otra cirugía, especialmente con la perspectiva de tener aún más mucoceles viene después de que (como alguien el comentario anterior publicado, realmente me siento con usted). He estado leyendo acerca de un tratamiento no invasivo para los niños. se denomina micro-marsupialización y requiere una sutura que se somete a la cúpula del mucocele y se dejan dentro de 7 días. la idea es que los conductos se pueden formar nuevas, por lo que la saliva puede escapar. ¿Alguien ha oído hablar de tal o cual había realizado este procedimiento? mi cirujano oral y yo soy deperate ha de saber de alguien ... ..

Hola a todos,
Tuve mi primer mucocele hace unos 10 meses. Yo había extirpado quirúrgicamente. Estoy de acuerdo con la mayoría de ustedes - la cirugía no era divertido y tardaron meses en recuperarse por completo.
Tuve una recaída hace apenas una semana. Yo no voy a tener una cirugía de nuevo. En cambio, yo estoy usando hidrógeno y peróxido de solución silbante que alrededor de mi boca un par de veces al día. Espero que esto se arreglará. Voy a dejar que ustedes saben cómo va esto.

¡Hola!
Aquí está una actualización. Y yo los míos eliminado hace exactamente una semana. La cirugía en sí no tenía ningún dolor, pero había un poco de dolor unas horas más tarde. El cirujano le recetó unos calmantes y los tomé ese día y la noche. También me advized para picar icechips para prevenir la inflamación.
El día después de que yo podía sentir, pero sin dolor. Desde el sábado me di cuenta de que a veces tengo una parte de un stich en mi boca. Hay disolver.
Si empujo en la parte externa de mi labio hoy todavía siento que es un poco hinchada, pero no tiene dolor en absoluto. También puedo ver que hay un stil pocos son los puntos de sutura.
Lo único es que parte de mi labio todavía se siente un poco entumecido, pero probablemente la sensación vuelva.
Me alegra que se han ido, y espero que no volverá.

Tuve un mucocele en mi labio inferior que empezó cuando yo tenía llaves hace varios años. Comenzó como una burbuja muy pequeña y claro, y lo que venga y vaya una a tres veces al año. Sin embargo, en octubre de 2005 se aumentó a cuatro veces su tamaño normal. Lo había eliminado a principios de noviembre y casi dos semanas para el día después de mi cirugía apareció otro en la parte inferior de la incisión. Así, a finales de noviembre tuve que quitar uno. Todo iba bien durante unas dos semanas y media. Entonces tuve otra hacia la parte inferior y fuera a otro de la segunda incisión.
Parece que voy a hacer otra cita para una extracción mucocele. Esperemos que la tercera vez es la vencida.
Como algunos de ustedes, he visto que lo marsupialización mencionado en unos pocos sitios web y le gustaría saber más acerca de esto. Suena mucho mejor que tener un labio hinchado por días, especialmente cuando usted tiene múltiples episodios de estas cosas y no sé cuántos más están en el horizonte.
En cuanto a las cirugías, mi primero fue muy bien y pude comer pizza en cuatro días.
Mi segundo, sin embargo, fue menor en el labio y era mucho más dolor y lo hizo todo en la parte inferior de la cara (mandíbula, dientes) molestias por un par de días y estaba limitada a la sopa durante una semana.
Para los que tienen la cirugía y tiene alguna pregunta, complicaciones o recurrencias que debe hacer una cita con el médico que hizo la cirugía. Usted no debe recibir nada por cargos citas postoperatorias. No fue acusado incluso para mi retiro segundos. Yo no lo sé todavía sobre esta tercera mucocele, pero voy a saber cuando me entero de algo.

Tuve un mucocel durante 7 meses y mi doctor en un primer momento me dijo que era una verruga. Gran intenta explicarle esto a sus compañeros de trabajo-que había comenzado a tomar homeopatía para las verrugas la esperanza de que iba a funcionar. Mi doctor no tenía idea de qué se trataba y me envió a la espera dermatoligist-3 meses. El dermatólogo tipo lo diagnosticó como un mucocel y su opción fue para grabarlo con el nitrógeno. Yo era reacia con este remedio, así que venda seeked un dictamen dentista. Mi dentista me envió a un cirujano dentista que ha configurado una cirugía para removerlo. Me habían informado de que nunca habían visto una reaparecer después de la operación. Todo el mundo sabe que esta historia va ... ... Bueno, la operación no fue tan malo y el personal era grande, pero - 2 semanas y un día tengo otra un poco a la izquierda de la incisión. Yo no soy un amargado labio debo añadir. No voy a aventurarse por el camino de la medicina occidental de nuevo con esto como el problema no se resolvió. Mi único consejo es no decidir sobre una opción de cirugía invasiva sin verificar todos los demás medios. Ahora estoy buscando un rememdy holística.
Si alguien ha tenido suerte con esto yo agradecería mucho su conocimiento. Gracias y buena suerte.

Recientemente he desarrollado una especie de bulto en muebles en el lado izquierdo de mi boca. No es visible cuando miro en el espejo, y no estoy seguro de lo que es. Parece que acaba de desarrollar durante la noche y no estoy seguro de qué hacer. Creo que sólo voy a esperar y ver si se pone peor y tal vez simplemente se va.

hola ... aquí está una actualización de mí. mi cirugía fue muy bien - el "Mucocele" i se había convertido en un granuloma pilórica - un quiste continuamente sangrado. estas cosas nunca se cierran y sangran todo el tiempo - que explica muchas cosas. se pueden imaginar el infierno que estaba pasando. ¿no te encanta cuando la gente te mira con eso ", lo que es esa cosa en tu labio???" expresión en su cara, al igual que ellos piensan que usted no sabe que está ahí ... ¡uf! de todos modos, los oídos, nariz y garganta / cirujano plástico que se retira dijo que se desconoce cómo llegó a ser. él hizo un trabajo fantástico, a pesar de que era caro, yo he pagado nada para arreglar esto. Estoy agradecido de que se ha ido y mi labio ha sanado. hay un pequeño bache en mi labio, pero es sólo perceptible para mí. por favor, la gente ... mantener sus manos fuera de su boca, las uñas son los mejores guardianes de los gérmenes. asegúrese de que está viendo un médico que puede manejar esto. i posiblemente podría haber salvado a mí mismo 2 meses de dolor, la agonía y la preocupación había visto a un especialista primero. un millón de gracias por tener este sitio aquí para los de nosotros con un vínculo común extraña.

Ardy hola,
gracias por compartir y felicitaciones! es tan grande que finalmente se deshizo de él. (I tienen en la actualidad la cirugía de mi mucocele segundo después y un montón de dolor.) Me preguntaba qué clase de médico hizo sus dos primeras cirugías? y ¿cómo te las arreglas para encontrar un cirujano plástico apto para su problema?
gracias de antemano, realmente lo aprecio esto!

gracias. mi dentista me refirió a un cirujano oral. debido a conflictos de programación, el cirujano oral no podía hacer el procedimiento en un plazo de tiempo yo estaba cómodo con .... y motivada por el hecho de que la cosa no estaba sanando, fui a un médico generalista en un centro de atención de urgencia. mi intención era obtener algún tipo de medicamento para curar la llaga antes de que pudiera ser removido. que el doctor dijo: "Me puede quitar que hoy, si lo desea. He hecho varias de estas cosas. "Así que, siendo ingenuos y desesperados, yo se lo cargó en él. por desgracia, no era tan bueno en lo que quería decir. la primera cirugía, se utilizan suturas solubles que se disolvió muy rápido y me dejó no sólo con el mucocele, pero otra se convirtió rápidamente en el interior de dos semanas. así que me fui de nuevo a la atención de urgencia, y otro médico, más alto en marcha una, quita los dos quistes. .. pero como mi suerte quiso que, en la parte superior e inferior de los sitios de puntada, mucoceles apareció de nuevo, con una venganza - enojado, sangrado, no curativo. Llamé a ese médico y dijo que si esto se estaba convirtiendo en demasiado para ellos para manejar, por favor referirse a alguien que me pueda hacer frente a esta consecuencia. que me enviaron con los oídos, nariz y garganta o cirujano plástico facial reconstructiva que le echó un vistazo y me dijo que dudaba que estos fueron los mucoceles y que tenía una infección de rabia. él rápidamente me puso en los antibióticos, que ayudó a aliviar la infección y programado para mí una cirugía en el hospital para eliminar lo que resultó ser el granuloma "piógeno (llevaba el nombre equivocado en el post anterior.) por lo que mi punto fue a los que todavía sufren a buscar a un profesional competente que se ocupa de este tipo exacto de problema. yo estaba más preocupado en deshacerse de ella que no me tome un momento para investigar si los documentos de primera fueron capaces de manejarlo. son grandes cuando tienen resfriados o tirar de un músculo, pero cosas como esta vamos a ver a los especialistas a partir de ahora. lession aprendido .. una muy difícil, dolorosa lección aprendida. (Esto no es para desacreditar a aquellos que han visto documentos regulares y tuvieron un éxito ... Me alegro por ti que logramos salir adelante. Esto es sólo mi experiencia.)

Hola, mi nombre es Katie y tengo 12 años. Me acabo de enterar que tenía yo hoy mucocele. Lo he tenido durante unos 5 meses, y mis padres y yo pensaba que era un afta, así que tuve que había estado tratando con ameson y cualquier otro producto que podría tener en mis manos, pero nunca se fue. Por lo tanto, mi mamá me tomó al doctor y me dijo que era un mucocele, pero no podía tratar y que tendría que consultar a un médico de especialidad (se me olvidó lo que se les llama) para hacer algo al respecto. El médico tomó una mirada en ella y dijo que era un mucocele y yo tendría que tomar la cirugía para extraerlo. Mi cita es el próximo lunes (1-16-06)
Scott dijo:

Acabo de encontrar este sitio. Gran sitio. Creo que tengo un mucolcele, al menos eso es lo que esperamos que sea. Estoy haciendo una cita demasiado ir a ver a un médico pronto. Algunas preguntas para todos ustedes, a veces mal morderla accidentalmente, su en el interior de mi labio, exactamente el mismo lugar que las fotos arriba, y cuando me muerden rezuma pus, y toda la masa se reducirá de tamaño. Al principio pensé que era un afta, casi desaparecería pero nunca hasta el final y que volvería otra vez. Alguien más tiene este mismo problema??? Gracias, Scott

¿Alguien ha tenido suerte con los remedios homeopáticos u holísticos en deshacerse de sus mucocele? Tuve mi primera mucocele sacado hace unas semanas, y ahora parece como si fuera renovables. Realmente no quiero pasar por una cirugía invasiva de nuevo si hay otras formas menos extremas para deshacerse de ellos. Cualquier ayuda sería muy apreciada.

responder a la pregunta de seguros: en función de su política, se debe analizar como eliminar "quiste" o algo por el estilo. en mi caso, todo estaba cubierto, excepto el deducible que estoy obligado a pagar - que es de $ 2000 - entonces mi patada en las coberturas del 100%. hasta que se alcance el deducible, la cobertura es sólo del 70% desde que tengo uso de un médico que está en la red - fuera de la red no están cubiertos en absoluto. todas las políticas son diferentes - sin duda consulte con el servicio al cliente de su seguro para que se le informa.
Scott: tener mucho cuidado - si el pus sale, suena como si usted tiene un sitio infectado. podría empeorar mucho. definitivamente ver a un médico o especialista y no tratar de morderlo. la boca es un puerto para los gérmenes. No quisiera que nadie pasara por lo que yo pasé. buena suerte.
compré todas las bocas individual / recurso dolor que pude tener en mis manos - fue en vano. re: homeopáticos y remedios holísticos, puede haber algo de puesta en la red, sin embargo, con mi experiencia, lo único que funcionaba era la cirugía. buena suerte.

Renzo Hi,
I would be also interested about non invasive method to get rid of my mucocele. I had had it 2 months ago, I had removed it surgically and it came back almost immediately. If you will find something please let me know. I tried accupuncturing but NOTHING.
asdf said,
January 17, 2006 @ 3:50 pm
wow, i had mine for about 4 months, and i finally made an appt with my doctor who referred me to a specialist and once i made that appt with the specialist.. it disappeared. lo cual es muy extraño.
Cleo said,

Thank you for this wonderful information. Mine came up about a month and a half ago. Initially i thought it was a canker sore (i just happened to have a canker in another spot at the same time – but it went away in a few days). Within a week i started to worry – it was really gross looking (still is)And nothing i found on the web was very useful or comforting. It formed many tiny white bumps as it swelled and occasionally i could taste something strange – like that metallic taste that blood has- something was slowly leaking out of it. After a couple weeks it started to shrink, then swelled again, shrunk, and has swelled a third time. It sometimes looks bluish or yellowish underneath the white nobbly things, usually has a dark red ring around the base and feels likes a little ball. It also feels like there is a tendon or some such thing running from the base of it toward the back of my cheek (I hope this won't complicate the surgery). When i saw my doctor she described it as an overgrowth of tissue – much like a wart. After reading this site and looking at the pictures i'm convinced it's a mucocele (wonder why she just didn't say so?) I'm having it removed on the 1st of February by a oral maxillo-facial surgeon (the same guy that pulls wisdom teeth)

i had a mucocele removed about 3 years ago. I bit my lip the other day in the place it was by accident and by the next day, it appears i now have another one. will prolly have to have this one cut out too. surgery is not too bad. they inject numbing stuff in your lip and cut it out and stitch it up in about 15 minutes. this one is not as big as the first one ( which was getting to the point of small grape size.)

Hola a todos,
Use surgery only as the last resort when you experience a mucocele in your mouth. Please, please try Hydrogen Peroxide intstead. I had a re-occurrence last December and just by using Hydrogen Peroxide (by swishing it in my mouth several times/day) the mucocele dissappeared.
Brikena
ardy said,
January 19, 2006 @ 11:31 am
brikena, yes, hydrogen peroxide can be used as a mouthwash and can, in some people, help to heal mouth sores and minor irritations. i did use HP for my mucocele/cyst and it did nothing. surgery was not high on my list of options. what works for one person may not be the best for another. i say, if you can get it to go away, regardless of the method, then good on ya!

I have been really stressed out lately, and I think I have been sucking on my lower lip without even realizing. I woke up the other day with a small “lump on my lip” that looks VERY similar to yours. It doesn't hurt at all, and it is not blue or anything. I saw the picures… and I am NOT fond of any pain, but it looks like I will have to head off to the doctors. I don't have health insurance so, should I see the campus doctor (i'm in college) first or a dentist..or just head off to the local walk-in clinic??
Thanks for any who reply..
A little scared of the whole process..

Thank you so much for your web site! I'm living in northern Iraq, teaching English, so it was good to be informed before I decided on surgery. My cyst looked almost exactly the same as yours and I managed to find a good doctor to take it out at a public hospital. I can't say I wasn't scared, especially given the quality of the medical care and the levels of cleanliness here. It took about 20 minutes and I had little post-op pain. I've sort of pulled the stitches out of one side because I still keep biting the same spot but I hope it works. The surgery cost only $1.30 and I'll get the stitches totally removed tomorrow.

HI,
MY son has had this since August. It fills up and looks awful, but he says it doesn't hurt. Eventually it went way way down and I thought that was the end of it. Just the other day, after he got the flu btw, it came back. I took him to the doctor and he said “hmm I think an ENT should look at that” FREAK OUT! You are right never attempt to look up “wierd mouth sore” or Funny lump on lip, it will have you crying in the corner. ON the other hand, cancer does not get big then go away then get big again. It just gets big and then gets bigger. Anyhoo, I am so glad I found this site, (not exactly sure how I came across it) He has a dentist appt on Feb 1st and an appt with the ent Feb 6th. Think judging by the photos, I may just leave it alone as long as he isnt' bothered by it, I really dont' want to put a 7year old through that. My guess is the dentist will say “ho hum” Think I will send this link to his doctor, who needs to know better than to scare parents.

OK, Here is my story. As most of you I had discovered a wierd bump on my lip and I did some research on the net and all I found was Mouth Cancer! I was pretty scared since that is what I thought I had being someone who chews tobacco and all. I noticed the bump on the lower inside of my lip one day and thought that it was strange. It did not bother me at first but it just kept ketting bigger. This bump was right where I kept that tobacco in my lip. I immediatley STOPPED using tobacco but the bump was still there. I researched and all I saw was MOUTH CANCER! Most web sites said to give it 2 weeks and if it doesn't go away then get to a doctor as it could be Mouth cance. I gave it 3 weeks but it was still there. I went into some minor depression over the weekend thinking OMG what have I done. I have Cancer how stupid am I for using tobacco! My use of tobacco was a habbit I picked up just recently playing Golf. After a ruined weeked I decided to do one last search before calling the Doctor. I then find this site. I see the pictures and I say hay I think that is what I have. It looks the same and it feels the same it must be a Mucocele. Because I was a user of tobacco just to be safe I made an appointment to see my doctor. I suggest anyone does this by the way if you have a bump that doesn't go away. When the Doc comes in the room I show him my nagging bump and the first thing he say's is “Oh thats a Mucocele”. In my head I say “YES!” Then the Doc say's I prefer not to do surgery because they are hard to remove and often come back. His advice was to give it time and it will go away. I left the office a much happier man. It is now 1 week later and the Mucocele is gone. I do not know when it dissapeard but I think that the stress is gone and I forgot about it and it finally went away. I have since gave up the Tobacco. Please, if you have any kinda bump in your mouth that is not normal go to the Doctor they know best. However, this site was a great form of info for me. Gracias!

Hey, I did a search on google for “lump in mouth” and got this and read. I don't think mines a mucocele. It's in my right cheek, near the teeth, it's very small, sore, I can move it around a bit and I'm afraid to squish it, but i think it's a squishy-firm. Anyone heard of this? It's not in my right cheek, nor does anyone else I know know what it is.

Hola,
I just found a “lump in mouth” and went searching for some info and came upon your site! I now believe I have a mucocele – looks exactly like the picture. I am going to wait until next week to go to the Doctors since it is the weekend. I still don't get “how” these are formed or happen -the medical term is too confusing. Can someone explain – thanks. Also, once they are removed am I able to get one again?
Gracias de nuevo,

ardy said,
January 29, 2006 @ 4:03 pm
they can appear as a result of trauma (ie, biting your lip, getting hit in the mouth) or they just appear with no explanation. it is possible for them to come back if removed – there is no guarantee. make sure you see a physician who is well informed about these and don't hesitate to get a 2nd opinion. buena suerte.

I just had my mucocele removed today. Everything seems okay at this point. The pain is not TOO bad. I will say that I wish I hadn't spent any time reading this entire blog post-op. So many negative stories…I'm optimistic…However, I will say this…if you have a mucocele…wait at least 6-8 weeks until you decide to get surgery. Many times it just dissapears on its own.

My son who is 8 just had his 3rd mucocele removed today. The first oral surgeon removed it (from under his tongue) by excising it and stitching it up and only using novacaine. It was a very traumatic experience and when it came back just 3 weeks later he was terrified. We found a surgeon who used the laser technique and we had him put under with versed and “happy gas” and it was a much better experience. Except for the fact that it reoccured for the 3rd time. Here's hoping 3x is a charm. To all moms out there-make sure you buckle your kids up while they're in the stroller-my son climbed out of his at 2 yrs. old and practically bit his tongue off. Had 7 stitches and hence the truama to the tongue that we are now having multiple surgeries for!

It's very small, well smaller than a mucocele, it moves around a bit.. it's sort of a firm-squishy kind of oval ball. Anyone have any opinions? Favor darme alguna información.

¡Hola!
Gracias por las fotos. I've had the same thing for nearly 2 years. My dentist had told me the same thing, I mean it's just a Mucocele and I could leave it if it doesn't bother me, but with all repsect to my dentist I always think it cancer or hiv symptom and that the dentist been supportive and doesn't want to freak me out as every single research about Limp and mouth drives you staright to mouth cancer. To be honest..The Mucocele changed my life..I've been completely different person to my personlity I'm sulky and not sociable anymore as I don't like others to see my mucocele on my mouth and also I didn't have courage to go for surgery because I haven't seen anyone before with this kind of limp. I hope I will sort it out soon especially I need to go for job interviews and when I speak it appears out of my lower lip or I have to speak strange and cautious way which is not good for me. Let's hope it's a simple surgery.
Thank you very much for pics and your support.

muchas gracias! im just relieved. u made an excellent post and really, this helped me a lot.
I have had similar thing in my lips for some months and I was worried. Initially, i went to the dentist and he examined and told me there is nothing to worry, though he did not tell me if i had mucocele. But he confidently vanished the thoughts of me having some sort of lip cancer.
i dont smoke or drink or chew. Though i have had a lot of exposure to sun (as i play cricket) so i was worried about the freaky lip cancer thing.
Thanks to you you cleared all my doubts. Gracias Now I'll look for a surgery to root it out inshaAllah.
Surely, google should be a little less robotic and index this page on top when someone searches for 'bump in lower lip'. ¡ten cuidado! bye!

I have the same thing. I bit my lip during Christmas time and usually when I bite my lip, it heals in about a week. Well, I bit it again before it healed, in the same spot, and then after a month when the “blister” still didn't go away, I got scared. I still have it and it goes down and comes back up, goes away, comes back, I am considering the surgery. I will make a dentist appointment very soon. Thanks for your pics and all the info, you guys are great!

Does anyones lump change with what you eat or drink. I have the same exact lump, it's soft and I even popped it a couple of times and that clear sticky stuff came out. Now, it seems to get bigger with certain things I eat. No pain really involved, just discomfort. As everyone said though better than the big “C”. Thank you LORD…

Yup , I managed to make mine bigger with Coke n spicy food, but usually only in the afternoons. It'd go down overnight. I went to see the MD after 3-4 weeks and he confirmed it [ I told him what it was called, thanks to this site, because he couldn't remember ].It would have cost me $250 Australian dollars to cut out, but now 2 weeks later it's almost totally gone [ was 0.5 cm before ]. I wonder if these things are somehow stress related and can disappear with a bit o relaxation by beleiving it's just like a pimple, which is a blocked up skin duct, just on the inside? I reckon it's the easiest and cheapest remedy without pain. Do we have anyone out there who wants to be a guinea pig and trial this theory? Scott lost his back in August on this post and I haven't seen him post since. Anyone had one go and not come back?
Jeff said,
February 14, 2006 @ 6:07 pm
Thanks Marco, I was wondering the same thing about stress. We are going through some very stressful times in our lives right now and this thing flared up un-invited of course and doesn't seem to want to go down. In fact it seems to be getting bigger. I suppose if I were relaxed I wouldn't be biting at it or rubbing my tongue across it every other second. The ball under the skin is soft and squishy still and that makes me want to pop it. ¿Debo hacerlo? What can I do in the mean time until I can get to the DR. What kind of DR should I go to? Oral, Dermatologist or GP?
Frustrated and irritated with this darn thing.
Thanks for your or anyone's help.

you can start by seeing your dentist. if you don't have a dentist, you can see a general practitioner or primary care physician. chances are he/she will refer you to an “ears/nose/throat” specialist for further diagnosis and treatment. as for herpes, those symptons come and go and are usually painful, open, and can scab over – like really bad cold sores. mucoceles rarely are 'open', ie, bleeding, weeping, etc. for the sake of an accurate diagnosis and treatment options, please see a health care professional. buena suerte.

Worst thing is, I dumped this sweet n sexy princess cause the bump showed up a day after loooong french kisses
Well, I breathing a lot easer after this blog. Gracias a todos. Just wondering, are there any natural cures?

Thank you for this blog!! And thanks to every one who commented. I had a mucocele for 2 months last summer and the doctor couldn't identify it. (scary, huh?) It has come back again and finally going to a nurse practioner here at school, she diagnosed it and now all I have to do is go to the oral surgeon. Too bad my oral surgeon is about 400 miles away. But, at least I finally have a diagnosis!! I'm normal! And I'm glad to be normal with every one who has posted!!

Hola de nuevo,
I have a question for anyone who has gone through surgery in order to remove the mucocele. Has anyone experienced a DRY MOUTH after the surgery (even though months have passed), especially when you wake up in the morning? All answers will be greatly appreciated.

What about the stiches? Do you need to go back to the doctor to get them removed?

I'm so glad I have found this site. About one week ago i discovered a small round cyst on the inside lower left of my cheek. Unlike the ones decribed on the site, mine is not bluish in color nor can it be seen from the surface, just felt. It's painless but I'm scared its a tumor or something. Has anyone had this kind of Mucocele?

Bueno ...
I have had 3 removals so far, and now I am going to have yet another one removed.
Esto se está poniendo loco.
Anyone else in a similar situation?

I noticed this lump in my lip yesterday it is exactly what you have discribed and it is a relief it is not oral cancer. I did bit it all day and it seems it has gotten bigger from bitting it.

WOW !!!!!! I've found my people!
I actually called my mom up last night when I found this site and said, “Mom! I found a group of people just like me!” and she said, “Hypochandriacs?”
Ooooh, at the end of August I thought I had a canker sore. Two weeks later when it was still there I started freaking out, eliminating certain foods, etc. It would get small and then get big again. I was in Virginia at the time, finishing up with a live-in caregiver job. In December I came home (Maine) for christmas and went to the dentist who told me it was a “Papilloma” and they normally go away on their own but he would remove mine. The day after it was removed, It grew back! Very small, but I went off to NY for my new job and it got bigger and bigger until finally I called an oral surgeon one morning for emergency surgery. He cut it off and I went in a week later to get a stitch removed that hadn't dissolved, and it was looking irritated, just below the incision. He said, “Tell me, when this thing first started, did it get big and small, big and small?” I said yes. He said, “Ah! You've been misdiagnosed! It's a mucocele!” He cut even deeper and stitched me up, (The best part is he didn't scharge me a thing for the second surgery, and the first surgery he only charged me less than a quarter of what he normally charged for that!) Anyway, I was laughing at your description, David, of the whole thing because it's EXACTLY what happened to me! RIght down to the Squishing your cheeks together when you smiled thing! Haha. Anyway, I've gone in for two check ups and I have one more in a month and he said it's looking great – I DO have a small lump left that he says is just scar tissue (In case anyone here gets that they won't freak out like I almost did!)
I love the person who said that if their's wasn't removed it would have surely taken over their face. I laughed so hard at that! I get these newsletters from Mercy Ships and read about these people who get little lumps on their lip and they get SO humongous that it takes over their face and then the ercy ship comes and rescues them. I thought for sure it would happen to me. SO glad I found such a big group of “Mucocele Survivors!!!!” This is great!

hey, i got one last week.. it showed up about wednesday and its only been a week and its already gone. it was pretty big and you could see it when my mouth was open just a little. i was freaking out becuase i didnt want surgery but my dentist actually told me what to do and it went away real fast. when you bite your lip, it pinches off a salivary gland and so all the saliva can't go anywhere and it builds up which is what forms a mucocele. if you keep hot moist compresses on it, it relaxes the gland and allows for the saliva to dissipate. so just keep a hot towel on it and in most cases it should go down after days or a couple weeks. also dont bite it again cause it will just reopen and spread! hope i could be of help to anyone!

I had a mucocelle which did go down after about 3 weeks of not biting it. I had it for about a month and a half and hated it. I was almost ready to go to my dentist to get it taken out. This may sound gross, but I even went as far as to pop the mucocelle with a sterile needle every 3-5 days when I felt it getting bigger. It didn't hurt, but it quite interesting putting a needle in my lip. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Im just one of those non squeemish risk takers. Or you could say stupid. I won't argue.

aaaaa i've been putting of calling a dr. or dentist becasue I keep thinking it will go away. It starts to get smaller but then I wake up one day and there it is again as big as a car. Its been over a month but do I call my doctor or dentist?

Like ya'all I too had a lump appear. Mine was on my center, upper lip. I found it while driving one day and was scared to death.
I had a dentist appointment the next day so I showed it to her. She played with it and told me it looked like a Mucocele. She said it was nothing to worry about as long as it didn't bother me and I didn't bite it.
Mine was about the size of a pencil eraser and would fluctuate between being rather firm and squishy. It was dark, looking a lot like a blood blister or hemorrhoid.
Anyways, a couple days ago it got about 50% larger and remained rather hard and was starting to be visible when I smiled, causing my lip to protrude slightly.
I visited the local oral surgeon and was greeted with a week wait before I could get in to see him. I begged and pleaded (which did no good) but also offered to be on their “standby list” in case anyone cancelled. Luck would have it the very next day they called and wanted to know if I could be there in a hour. NO PROBLEM!!!
The OS looked at it and within 1 second said “You have a Mucocele” partner. Really glad to hear him say that rather than going “Owwww… Hey Joe come look at THIS!”
As luck would have it he offered to take care of it that same day (cool). The *only* part that hurt were the initial shots. I'm sure I bent his headrest trying to get away from his needle. It wasn't that bad, but did sting a bit.
During the procedure I felt *nothing* and I mean *nothing*. That is a good thing.
After he was done, he told me it was really not a Mucocele, but rather a vascular bundle with a blood clot at the end. He said not to worry was most likely caused by some trauma to that area in the past and I should be back to not looking like a Ubangy soon.
I just *had* to see what they took out so the assistant gave me a peek. Looked like a small piece of liver to me. Yuk.
So anyway, all that happened today, I have virtually no pain this evening, but it does feel a little sore and the stitches are annoying.
I hope this takes care of it for good.

Great info… I have the same mucocele at the same spot as your picture. divertido. mine comes and goes, sometimes within one day. I try to make a doctor appointment but by the time I remember to call, the darn thing is gone. My mother-in-law has the same problem. Could be bad biting patterns.

My mucocelle surgery happened 3 months ago now, the tip of my lower lip above the surgery is still a bit numb.. feels like ants marching on it if I touch it.
How are your surgery healing guys? Anyone else experiencing something similar? If you had similar symptoms can you write how long did it take for the nerves to heal?

Wow! I have been freaking about this hard blister looking thing that is really small and then gets bigger and then pops and then comes back. I was like paranoid. I am going to make a call to my oral surgeon. I am so thankful for this blog here because you cant find anything on the web for it and all that comes up is doom and gloom. Thank you so much for this : ) Roxy

¡Hola!
Thank you so much for your sight.
I thought I would relate my story to perhaps help someone else.
I discovered a lump in my mouth in the Fall.
By Christmas, it had become about the size of a pea under the skin, and swollen around it and I was able to move it around slightly. It seemed to get bigger the more that I “tongued” it, which is hard to stop when there is something like that in your mouth. Caffeine also seemed to irritate it.
As many others on this sight did, I googled lump in mouth and of course came up with all kinds of cancer sights.
After several months of worrying I went to a GP who wanted to refer me to an oral surgeon immediately to “get this thing taken care of.”
The GP would not rule out the possibility of cancer.
Of course by now I was a nervous wreck, and scheduled the appointment with the oral surgeon.
During the course of conversation with the GP, I did remember the word “cyst”. I later googled cyst and came up with your website.
After reading your website, I did the following:
1. Cancelled the oral surgeon appointment.
2. Made a concious effort to stop playing with the lump with my tongue.
3. Applied hydrogen peroxide to the lump in the morning and night with a Q-tip
4. Made sure not to hit the lump with my toothbrush.
I am happy to report that as of this date the lump is virtually non-existent!
Thanks again for helping me out with your sight and hope my “do it yourself” tips will help someone else.

Me otra vez! Wanted to mention one more thing to you – several people have mentioned that they had their mucocele removed only to have it grow back right next to the scar? Well, mine was first diagnosed as a papilloma – when it was removed (For the second time, by a different Dr.) it grew back next to the scar and when I went back he said it wasn'ta papilloma, but a mucocele – and the way to take care of it is to remove the salivary gland – because that's the culprit – he did and that was more than a month ago and I haven't had any problems – I would definaltly make sure the Dr. Removes the salivary gland, because that's the whole problem, and that's why my “Papilloma” kept returning because all they were doing was removing the symptom.

I just got back from the doctors. I have a suspected mucocele (i think) but i have to wait for the oral specialist to confirm it. Nearly everyone on here seems to have it on their lip but mine is under my tongue. Having smoked 30 a day for the last 6 years and being a heavy drinker. Needless to say IS**t my pants when I found it espescially since I have a wierd overgrown bit of gum aswell that i never got checked out till now. The thing that really set me off into a panic is when i was sitting in the doctors waiting room I was facing a big poster with the headline. “Mouth cancer – it could be you”. I think my surgery, if I need it, will be a bit of pain though considering the location. I'll report back with th details. Oh and I have now quit smoking, I don't want a repeat performance with a different outcome.

MINE WENT AWAY ON ITS OWN!
My mucocele appeared in early January. Of course, at that time I didn't know what it was. After searching for “lip blister” online all I came up with was herpes even though the blister/cyst looked nothing like that. I poked, prodded, and squeezed the blister to no avail and soon gave up. Luckily, I found this site and diagnosed myself with a mucocele–it looked just like the picture and was just as big. The diagnosis was later confirmed by a doctor who referred me to my dentist. Because of my busy schedule and the fact that the mucocle was on my inner lip and not visible unless I pulled down my lip, I put off my appointment and vowed to leave the cyst alone. Well, it started getting smaller last week and now it's gone except for a tiny bump no bigger than a pin head. I'm glad I waited to see an oral surgeon and have it removed. My advice would be to just leave it alone for awhile and hopefully it will go away on its own. Unless, of course, it's visible from the outside–those things are pretty ugly. I'm keeping a close eye on mine and will let you know if it comes back.

I have a mucocele right now and I identified it online and read a little about it. I can't afford to go to a doctor or a dentist, but I'ma musician and when I was singing it was driving me CRAZY, so I popped it. It was a good temporary solution, but it came back so I popped it again and really tried to get all the goo out. It just kept coming back – and quick! It would swell up again, sometimes within a matter of hours! So I have a big show tonight and I couldn't deal with that thing driving me nuts all night so I just stabbed the hell out of it with a pin. I mean, I really destroyed the thing to the point where I just have a hole where it used to be and it kind of feels like I bit my lip really bad. I know I probably sound like an idiot for doing that, but I had to do something before I went on stage tonight or I would have focused on it all night. Every time I mess with it, I use a sterile needle and wash my mouth out before and after really well with listerine. I'll let you know if it grows back.

Simple Relief: Use a rinse of 1/2 Hydrogen Peroxide, 1/2 water for 3+ weeks. Don't swallow the rinse; leave in mouth for about 5-10 minutes, then rinse well with water. This really helped in my situation. I was diagnosed with a mucocele about 2 months ago and read everything I could find about it, especiallly the comments in this blog. My doctor recommended surgery. It was not encouraging to see that even the surgery, which can be unpleasant, does not guarantee the thing will go away — lots of folks said they come back. I had also just had some other minor surgery and was willing to try anything to avoid more surgery. Somewhere I'd read a comment suggesting the hydrogen peroxide rinse and thought it worth a try. My problem has not entirely disappeared, but it's much improved and the mucocele cannot even be felt from outside my cheek now (formerly was the size of an almond). You have to be patient and diligent to get these good effects, but I recommend at least trying this because it's simple, cheap, and involves no surgery.
Hannah said,
March 21, 2006 @ 6:19 pm
Yeah, I was patient and diligent for five months and the thing kept getting bigger and bigger. IF the oral Surgeon removes the salivary gland, there's no way it can return!

After biting the s**t out of my lower lip last December, I developed a bump that gradually grew to about 1 cm in width … not painful or super noticeable, but annoying as hell. After finding this site I was 99% sure the thing was a mucocele, but I went to the Doc anyways. Sure enough, within one minute of examination the Doc says, “Without a doubt … a mucocele.”
So … I tried the hydrogen peroxide thing, and it does help … but ultimately this thing's not going away. My plastic surgery appointment is for Monday morning (3/27). I'll let everyone know how it goes.

What about something like transparent and 1~2mm in size on the lower lip?? Is it a retention cyst too? What can it be?

Thank you so much for posting this site. I haven't seen the doctor yet but it looks and sounds like this is what I have. I have been freaking out that I have cancer and now I am praying that this is what the doctor will tell me I have. It looks just like the pictures you posted and is in the same place on my lower lip. Interestingly I had a really bad cold when it first appeared. I wonder if that contributed to it. Your site has brought me relief knowing that there are other possibilities besides cancer. Muchísimas gracias.

I have had a Mucocole for about a month and a half now or more. I didnt know what it was and was really scared to go get it checked out. I had bit it and drained all fluid in it about 5-7 times. It would go down and within a day it would be back. I started getting scared thinking it was a cyst or tumor. Cancer runs in my family, and i have had problems with cysts before. Finally I gave in and went to urgent care. Found out it was only a Mucocole, the doctor has refered me to the Head, Neck and sergury department. I have my appt next monday. Im kind of scared though…I dont know what they are going to do. But I know it could be worse.

I had my surgery this morning. The plastic surgeon said everything went well. The whole procedure lasted around 20-30 minutes and was about what I expected. First, the surgeon gave me a couple of shots of local anesthesia, which were as painful as you'd expect shots in the lip to be; not unbearable, but certainly uncomfortable. After that, pretty much all feeling in my general mouth area was gone … didn't feel the initial cut, excision of the mucocele, or any of the stitches, although I could hear and see all of this happening. Bleeding was minimal, and before I knew it, I was ready to go. It's now around 12 hours later and the pain and swelling are not too bad. Eating is tricky … It'll be soup and smoothies for a couple of days … If anyone reading this has any questions for me I'd be happy to answer them … just post re:roger … I'll be checking this site frequently over the next few days … thanks again to the moderator of this blog … it has helped me tremendously

omygosh!! i think i have a mucocele (what a wierd name, sounds like a ukelele.) my dad says he had one when he was in 12th grade too, so maybe its hereditary?? anyways, i have never had any surgery in my life and i am afraid of shots. so i hope i don't have to have it surgically removed. it popped up a few days ago and its been growing like CRAZY (its now about a cm, on the left of my lower lip). its not painful at all but I HATE IT!! i feel like people can see it and it makes putting on lip gloss such a pain. anyways, thanks for this information. it helped.

It's been 6 weeks since mine disappeared on its own and no sign of its return. I'm glad I was too poor to get it removed by surgery, looks like a nasty way to get rid of 'em. Cheers 'n good luck!

Well, when you've had a gross looking thing on your lip for months and months and it effects the way you talk and you lose your appetite over the whole thing, you really don't care how it goes, so long as it goes! I'm with several other people here, in that if I hadn't gone to the surgeon I would have done it myself! I would rather have been deformed for life than have that thing for life. Went for my last check up yesterday and the dr. declared me officiolly cured! YAAAAAAAAAY!
