Suggest remedy for reoccurring mucous cyst on the inside of lower lip
Patient: Hi,I have had a mucous cyst on the inside of my lower lip. I have had it for about 2 weeks in January. It  is not painful and it decreases in size and then returns. So I went to see a doctor who recommended surgery. All went well for a week  after surgery at the beginning of February. However on the second week the cyst appeared again and it has reached the same size as before. The doctor has recommended surgery again. I am afraid that this cyst may reappear after the second surgery. What should I do? Doctor: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The causes for recurring mucous retension cyst is because of the improper removal of the cystic lining or repeated trauma to that region like lip biting.So consult a good maxillofacial surgeon and get it enucleated or surgically removed. Then we have to remove the cause like any trauma from the teeth to the lip. If any sharpness over the teeth are there, then it has to be rounded off. Nothing to get afraid. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
