What causes lumps inside upper lip and angular cheilitis?
Patient: I ve recently developed Angular cheilitis and in the last 12 hours two swollen lumps inside my upper lip (near the corners of my mouth) have appeared. They re fairly large, and feel slightly numb. I don t know if the Angular cheilitis and lumps are linked but I m wondering what the lumps are exactly. It seems that they may be mucocele but those are normally on the lower lip and the lumps aren t moveable in my case. Please help! Doctor: angular chilosis is due to deficits of essential vitamins and lump in lower lips are mostly due to bite followed by mucous retention cyst. treatment of this condition is multivitamins and excion of cyst under local anaesthesia.
