Found a Bump Inside Your Lip?

95% Are Harmless

Nearly every white bump is one of 5 ordinary conditions. Cancer is statistically rare.

Meet the 5 Suspect

Mucocele, canker sore, cold sore, Fordyce spot, or oral thrush — one of these is yours.

Visit

Does It Hurt When You Press?

Sharp pain = canker sore. Painless dome = mucocele. Burns or tingles = cold sore.

The Lip-Bite Bump

Soft, bluish-white, painless dome? It's likely a mucocele. Heals in 3 to 6 weeks.

The Stinging Ulcer

Yellow center, red ring, stings on citrus or soda? Classic canker sore.

The 14-Day Home Fix

Warm saltwater rinses, soft toothbrush, SLS-free paste, OTC gel. That's the kit.

Never Pop It

Popping a mucocele almost always makes it refill — and invites infection.
