I found a lump on my lip the other day. Like literally on the lip-lip. Not the edge where I’ve had them happen before. I’ve NEVER had that happen. A zit ON the lip which I squeezed a yellow lump out of.

How does that happen? AFAIK the lip doesn’t have pores? It’s a mucus membrane?

That’s like getting a zit on your eye ball…

How? Am I going to die? Has anyone else had this?

Don’t tell me to see a doctor about a lip zit!

      That’s what’s kinda weird. If it popped out of any other part of my body I’d say it was a lot like an infected hair follicle.

      It was a solid-waxy pus ball/sack.

      Even getting it out was weird - I couldn’t use my fingers cos it just disappeared into my lip. So I had to push my lip into my mouth and use my teeth behind it to push this pus-ball out onto my tongue!

      Probs difficult to picture but imagine the move you do if/when picking bits of your lip off with your teeth. Biting your lips basically but instead emptying what looks like a sebacious cyst onto your tongue below.

      I’m gonna keep an eye on it since some seem to say it’s HPV/cold sore.

      No ones mentioned cancer or something exotic so I’m feeling better for my chances! 😂
