I have a blood bump on my lower bottom lip and it has been there for about 8 months now.  It is really small but noticeable, its reddish in color and raised a bit. Today i tried popping it with a sterile needle i pricked it and blood came gushing out like a whole lot of blood i held a napkin to it tightly and it eventually stopped bleeding, its still the same size it was and color before i popped it...i am freaking out, what is this thing on my lip...please help...i am 33 weeks pregnant but i really don't think that has nothing to do with it.

Hi,

A blood blister is a type of blister that forms when tissues and blood vessels are damaged without piercing the skin. It consists of a pool of lymph, blood and other bodily fluids trapped beneath the skin.

This may have resulted from biting or trauma to the lip. This will usually resolve on its own. However, leave the blister alone. A cold pack may also help.If it persists, it would be best to have it evaluated by your doctor.

Applying protective paraffin-based ointment (such as Vaseline) or lip balms to the lips is normally very effective. Also take Vitamin B supplements.

Let us know if you need any further information.

It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for the symptoms and a proper clinical examination.

Let us know if you need any other information and post us on how you are doing.

Regards.
