🩺 Oral Mucocele – A Common but Often Ignored Mouth Lesion!
Have you noticed a small, painless swelling on your lip or inside your mouth that occasionally bursts and refills?
It could be a Mucocele — a harmless salivary gland cyst that forms when a duct gets blocked, usually due to lip biting or trauma.
🔍 Common Signs:
• Smooth, dome-shaped swelling (usually on the lower lip)
• Bluish or translucent appearance
• May rupture and recur
• Usually painless but can cause discomfort
🦷 Treatment:
Mucoceles don’t go away permanently on their own.
A minor surgical excision or laser removal by an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon gives a quick and permanent cure.
👉 Don’t ignore persistent mouth swellings. Early treatment prevents recurrence and ensures comfort.
