Is this lump of scar tissue underneath my lip reducible? (photos)

December 2, 2022
Asked By:cleocathleen

This nodule was caused by a botched medusa piercing. It's about the size of a pea. Not only am I unhappy with the appearance, it easily gets irritated when eating and drinking. After spending hundreds on consultations with zero luck so far, I've decided to come here for answers. Please let me know if it's fixable!
