I have some tissue growth inside my lip. My oral surgeon said it is probably caused by biting on lip many times and/or aggravated by my dental partials. What are the risks of removing that extra growth? I have sores there on and off. It almost feels like canker sores. It's been that way for 3 months now. Sometimes it feels sore; sometimes it doesn't. I don't want to take unnecessary risks if I don't have to. What risks come with this kind of tissue removal?

These scars can be improved with a combination of lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
I must agree with the other doctor posting. You really should explore a biopsy after the infant is 18 months old to determine the exact pathology.
I would seek care by a professional such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
Over the counter preparations with silicone and sun block may be beneficial.
Use of bleaching agents and steroids should be montiored and prescribed by a medical professional.
