Overview
A mucocele is a small, painless, blister-like lesion that occurs on the inner lips or floor of the mouth. The blister is usually filled with clear fluid and is caused by damage to the inner, wetter skin of the lip or mouth (mucosal surface). The damage is often caused by braces, lip biting, or other injury to the mucosal surface. Mucoceles may go away on their own or may be treated by your doctor by being carefully cut out.
