Remedies For A Mucous Cyst

A mucocele, more commonly referred to as a mucous cyst, is a soft, typically painless bump that forms inside of the mouth. This bump can be located anywhere within the mouth, including inside the lip or cheek, on the roof of the mouth, or under the tongue. If the inner mouth becomes injured, such as by cheek biting or lip sucking, excess mucus can be surrounded by growing skin to create this lump. A large percentage of mucous cysts will go away on their own without any need for medical intervention.
