I have a tiny zit (really small) under my lip and it never comes to a head but is just a tiny bump until I scratch at it and it becomes bigger. Anyway this thing NEVER goes away. It goes away but I know it is still under there and then it comes back. Other than seeing a doctor which is not something I can do, what can I do to finally get rid of this. I am currently dabbing tea tree oil on it and a couple of days ago a sulfur mask dabbed on. It is not showing but I can feel the tiny little bump. Warm cloths don't work, benz whatever doesn't work, Korean blemish patches do not work. It's like it is deep and keeps rising to the surface. The top layer heals but it is still in there. My next trial is retin-a. Help please.

Kat, I really really think this calls for a doctor.

I had what I thought were inflamed areas where I assumed I bit my tongue. My dentist sent me for a consult with an oral surgeon immediately. They scheduled surgery to do a biopsy on the skin/contents. The doctors were very serious. Turned out benign. But they were not willing to ignore it.

Is this bump inside your mouth or outside?

[HappyDaze]

how long have you had it? Is it milia? I know you said you were using a bunch of new products, perhaps it has caused milia. Otherwise, you really need to go to the doctor. To me, going to see the doctor is more important that buying retin a which can be expensive and could make things worse since you have no idea what it is you are dealing with.

Under my lip on my face. I occasionally get whiteheads below my lip (maybe from lip gloss)but this one comes and goes so my thought that it is deep and it comes to a head, heals, comes to a head, heals and on and on. It never fully comes out or dries up. Sorry, I know it is gross. TIA.

Salicylic acid to clean out pore, Glycolic acid to exfoliate.

How about Epsom salts or caladryl lotion

maybe the Epsom salts could pull it out, caladryl could dry it up?

I've used in the past regular white toothpaste, it dries out the pimple, dab it on before bed

[Feline Fine]

Try toothpaste that's an actual paste, not a gel. It's known for to drying out and clearing up pimples/zits.

ETA: I was writing my reply when your's posted, Ann Marie.

That definitely gives me some new ideas. Thank you all.
