weird new lump
| Wed, 11-05-2003 - 10:51am |
I am new to this board but thought it a good and comfortable forum to ask a question as I have seen a lot of the feedback and suggestions people have provided. I am very concerned- this morning in the shower i felt a weird lump- it isn't inside but rather on the right lip- I know it wasn't there yesterday as i would have noticed it. Any ideas what this could be? Searching on the internet has me scared to death as it could be so many things (from a cyst to an ingrown hair) yet i have no other symptoms at all. I have a doctor's appointment in two weeks and will obviously mention it to her then but should i be overly concerned and call her now? Thanks for your input

I know it's scary to find a bump where there shouldn't be a bump!
Hi there!
Yes, it really could be any number of things.... a pimple, an ingrown hair, a cyst, or a genital wart.
I would say bring it up at your doctor's appointment. If it is still there, show your doctor. These things really need to be diagnosed visually. A pimple, ingrown hair, or cyst may be gone by the time your appointment rolls around, but that is a good thing. Genital warts will pretty much stay there until treated.
Good luck!!
