Mucous Cysts - A Fluid-Filled Swelling on the Lips
or Mouth
Our skin is prone to various conditions that cause lumps and bumps on the surface or just beneath
the skin. A cyst is a formation of a sac-like pocket of tissue containing fluid, air, or other substances.
It can develop almost in any part of your body on or beneath the skin. Cysts can be of different types
including mucous, retinacular cysts etc and most of these are benign, or non-cancerous. Let us
discuss the different types of cysts.
Mucouscysts
Also known as a mucocoele, a mucouscyst is a fluid-filled bump that mainly occurs on the lip or in
the mouth. The main reason of the development of cyst in the mouth is the mucus of the mouth’s
salivary glands gets plugged. Most cysts grow on the lower lip but has all the possibility to occur
anywhere within the oral cavity. Though most of the cysts are temporary and painless but can
become permanent if they are not treated o time.
Pitiable dental health and hygiene, a habit of lip or cheek biting because of stress can increase the
risk for developing mucous cysts.
Retinacular cysts
The occurrence of ganglion cyst in the flexor tendon sheath is known as a retinacular cyst. It is
usually a tender mass that occurs in the palm by the base of a finger. The development of this cyst
often causes pain when gripping objects.
Doctors determine whether you need treatment for the cyst development or not taking into account a
number of factors. The factors include:
the kind of cyst
the spot of the cyst growth
if it is causing pain or not
whether the cyst is infectious
Dupuytren's contracture is a skin condition that occurs due to the thickening of the fibrous tissue
layer beneath the skin of the palm and fingers. Although it doesn’t cause pain, but the solidifying and
tightening of this tough tissue can cause the fingers to bend (flex).
