My lower lip started to develop a white pigmentation on the left side and I basically ignored it. I had seen?

Question

doctors (for other things) and the dentist, and no one mentioned any concern. But now it is getting stranger. There is sort of a pimple there now and my lip in general looks more purplish, except for the whitened area. None of this can be from any kind of lipstick, etc. because I don't use any. In any case, I don't want to make a special trip into doctor-thought some of you out there might know what might be going on, have had a similar experience or have some medical knowledge-would appreciate your feedback. Anything I can do/not do regarding it? Oh, and it's been there a long time now-except for the pimpling-which is recent. What can I do to make it go away?

More info: Does NOT itch at all.

Answer 1

I can tell you are concern. To put your mind at ease, I would have a biopsy of the area. It can't hurt and you will feel better than doing nothing. Hope all turns out well

Answer 2

An ex-boyfriend had a white pigment spot on the inside of his bottom lip. (He was a smoker.) His doctor and dentist said don't worry about it. Since yours has changed, I WOULD worry about it. This could be skin cancer, or some kind of tumor, and you should have it checked out ASAP.

Answer 3

Any skin pigmentation change should be evaluated by a general practitioner or dermatologist. Its best to catch it early if it is something other than a pimple. Its better to be evaluated by a doctor and have him tell you nothing is wrong than ignore it and have it be skin cancer.

Answer 4

Try putting some medicated lip balm on it and drink more water you might be dehydrated if it does not improve go see a doctor.

Answer 5

Do u think its syphillis? or some kinda STD
