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!

    Yeah, it sounds more like a cyst to me based on your (absolutely disgusting, though I guess I did ask for it) description. I’ve got both oral herpes and am prone to both sebaceous and fluid-filled cysts. Did it leave a rapidly-closing cavity? A herpes outbreak would leave a painful, hot, yellow-brown crust that leaks pus when broken. And you definitely haven’t had any cold/flu symptoms recently? I’m not a doctor, and i think it’s a good idea for you to see one about this, but my personal suspicion is a sebaceous cyst.
