Watery pimple on the lip. Reasons for what to do

There are many factors that cause the appearance of watery acne on the lip and skin around it, therefore, the methods of treatment in each case are different.

Possible reasons

A watery pimple on the lip, unlike the usual one, rises slightly above the surface of the lip. It appears as a small transparent pimple, which in a short time greatly increases in size and grows in a few hours. The amount of liquid in it increases.

Inside a watery pimple, pus, blood secretions or blood saturated with harmful substances and viruses can accumulate. Such content, getting on adjacent tissue sites, infects the tissue surface. Therefore, one watery pimple can cause large rashes on the lips and adjacent areas, as well as a number of additional complications. The main causes of watery pimples on the lips in adults are:
