i sorta overlooked the year part, but they can last a while if the blood clots under the skin.

does it look kind of like one of those veins on the underside of your tongue?

4/20/2007 5:20:43 PM

no, but some other thing i read on teh intraweb described what i gots and said it was a varicose vein

4/20/2007 5:31:31 PM

this was the best picture i could take, and no it isnt a cold sore

4/20/2007 5:38:11 PM

you need to use Macro mode on your camera!

4/20/2007 5:42:15 PM

you get the idea

4/20/2007 5:47:58 PM

yeah i suppose

but macro mode is pretty cool for super closeups with detail

4/20/2007 5:55:53 PM

this isnt bout photography its about my lip

4/20/2007 6:13:58 PM

herp.

4/20/2007 6:18:55 PM

is it a bump or just a discoloration?

4/20/2007 8:32:18 PM

hmmm what we got here. oj, purple spot....OH SNAP, SUNNY D

4/20/2007 9:02:30 PM

its a raised bump,

4/21/2007 12:13:30 AM

Possibly genital warts in the mouth. It could be a vein, though.

its not warts, i know this for a fact

4/21/2007 12:30:47 AM

Could be just a fluid build up, I had one on the inside of my lip. It was there for like half a year and then it went away. Doc said I would be fine.

4/21/2007 12:37:44 AM

well i think i may have asked a doc about it and he told me it was nothing and i could see a dermatologist about it, but i really dont remember

4/21/2007 12:51:22 AM

^ If you're sure you haven't had warty oral, then it's probably a vein that may have to be excised.

4/21/2007 12:55:47 AM

it aint big enough to warrant removing, cause frankly i dont care. im already a huge, ugly mother fucker , small skulled, hump back, so what the hell do i care about a vein on my lip

4/21/2007 12:59:19 AM

^ Okay. I figured it hurt, though. I know a lady in her eighties who has a similar spot and she said it hurts.

4/21/2007 1:15:27 AM

sometimes it does, but i dont care

4/21/2007 2:02:26 AM

Could be a chancre sore from irritation or blood blister. Do you eat or drink lots of citrus? Some people get chancre sores when they eat/drink lots of high acid stuff.

4/21/2007 2:19:39 AM

those dont last for a year

4/21/2007 3:04:21 AM

Unless you've been drinking large amounts of OJ for a year. Does it hurt at all? Is it solid or swishy and kind of soft?

If it's more solid and it doesn't hurt/sting it could be deep scar tissue. It could also be a benign tumor. Either way, mention it to the doctor next time you get a checkup. In the mean time, buy some vitamin E suppliment gel tabs and some q-tips from the grocery store. Break them open and put the juice on one of the q-tips and apply it to the... thing. Since it's not a chancre, then that probably won't help but it's cheap so why not give it a try.

Lupus

4/21/2007 1:51:55 PM

Idiopathic conversion disorder

....but it could be lupus

It sounds weird, but it's possible.

4/21/2007 8:27:38 PM

yay i get to have surgery next week to remove this thing.

5/10/2007 5:35:22 PM

but it wasnt worth removing????????????

5/10/2007 5:45:59 PM

well i dont want to take a chance that it is cancer or something, once is enough for me

5/10/2007 5:48:41 PM

From what I see in that picture, it is definitely NOT oral HPV. Oral warts are not purplish, but more fleshy colored. If you do not believe me, you can google up some pictures.

I don't have any clue as to what that purple spot it. If it hadn't been there so long, I'd go with a bruise or blood blister.

5/10/2007 6:03:45 PM

ok, i know its not herp, warts etc. i have already been to 3 doctors on this. its a vein thing

5/10/2007 6:11:31 PM

Are you joking? TWW isn't going to give you a diagnosis - go see a dermatologist & if it's symptomatic of something else, they'll know where to refer you.

In the meantime you could rub mederma or vit E on it. That is, if you think it might be a scar. Probably would do nothing to a vein.

5/10/2007 6:39:49 PM

read the thread bro, i already been to 3 docs, im having it taken out

5/10/2007 9:22:27 PM

i had that shit cut out today, apparently it was a clump of blood vessels, but they send it away to the lab to be sure. i bleed so much that i passed out from blood loss to my head, it was pretty cool. now i got like 5 stitches in my lip
