Hi, I am a 21 year old female and I have had a red lesion with a white middle on my upper lip since last september. I went to my Doctor about it and she thought it was a cold sore and gave me a prescription for that. I took the pills and it did not go away or even start to get better. She then sent me to an ENT for it and they did a punch biopsy on the lesion. The results of the biopsy was mucositis. The ENT wanted to do surgery to remove it. I talked to my Doctor and she then sent me to a plastic surgeon to get a second opinion. The plastic surgeon looked at the results of the punch biopsy and did not see where the results said anything about mucositis. I just had surgery on the lesion last Friday to get it removed. During it he removed the lesion but found a second lesion under the top lesion and removed that as well. I had 6 stitches. I just got the stitches out today and he said that we stomped the pathologist because he still can t figure out what it could be. I have to go back next week to see if they found anything out yet. I am getting really frustrated and just want to know what it could be!
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The lesion could be a frictional keratitis or irrational fibrous. Wait till the biopsy report comes for the confirmation of the diagnosis. Nothing to worry it will be a benign lesion. You could have consulted an oral physician to confirm the diagnosis. I hope my answer will help you take care.
