Self-Care Guidelines
Many mucoceles will go away on their own in 3–6 weeks. Mucus-retention cysts often last longer. Avoid the habit of chewing or sucking on the lips or cheek when these lesions are present.
When to Seek Medical Care
See your doctor if the bump persists for over 2 months or if it is growing, bleeding, interfering with talking or chewing, or painful.
