Swollen Bumps on Lips

My 2 year old Chocolate Lab has swollen bumps on her lips, the bumps remind me of cauliflower... The bumps seem to bother my pup a lot, she scratches the bumps open and they bleed. Not a pleasant sight. After researching the description of what I see on my pups lips... Cancer keeps coming into the picture??? Please help!
Concern,
Choc.Lab Owner

Oral papillomas are likely and are self limiting.
We usually do not consider malignant masses until age 5.
If your vet is worried after an exam, a biopsy should ease your worried mind.
