Weird, round white bump on my inner lip.

Before I get into it, I'd like to say the chances of it being herpes is pretty slim, considering I haven't kissed anyone since mid July, and I have never had a coldsore in my life.

Anyways, I few days ago I woke up and the inside of my upper lip has this small swollen area, and there was a little white headed almost pimple looking thing. It hurt whenever I touched it with my tongue or food/drinks brushed against it. it's gotten a bit bigger since then.

I've had lots of canker sores and this isn't like one.

I'm going to go check with a doctor soon, but I thought I'd ask here before in case anyone has had on of these before and could offer some advice so I don't have to go to the doctor.

 

It just sounds like you've bit your lip, depending on how you bite it you can get the skin to pop up which is the white thing, the bite could also explain why it's swollen, it hurts when you ever you touch it like any other injury would, I don't know why it's gotten bigger, but it could have just been the irritation from food etc.

Still, go to the doctor and get it checked.

 

could possibly be a cyst

 

It sounds like a cyst or an inner mouth pimple. As strange as that sounds, it does happen, especially during puberty. I wouldn't worry too much about it at all, just go get it checked out so that the doctor can take a look and dispel and fears you may have. I'm sure its just something weird that your body has conjured up and that it will get rid of on its own.

 

canker sores on the front of your mouth tend to be much worse and different than the ones in any other spot. I'm almost sure that's what it is.

feel free to post pictures.

 

Or maybe it's related to sleep problems.

Have you been sleeping well lately?
If so, how?

 

Anyways I figured I'd update this, it went away out of nowhere.

I may have been sleeping weirdly but I don't think it was any different than how I've slept my whole life.
