How do you stop mucocele growths?

Question

I have not used alcohol nor tobacco for over 6 years and continue to experience mucocele growths every other month or so. I removed one myself, and pop them when they come, but the ALWAYS grow back, though the one I cut out came back softer and not as wide.

Any thoughts appreciated

Answer 1

It cannot be stopped, it needs to be removed surgically by a dentists or surgeon, the reason it comes back is due to satellite cells that need to be removed with the lesion itself

Answer 2

Mucocele growths are not associated with alcohol or tobacco use.  I see them many times in children who have bumped their lower lip while playing.  They need to be excised by a dentist or oral surgeon.
