how does your bottom inner lip suppose to feel like?

[nhelen79]

hi all,
I started wearing Invisalign so 3 times a day I would need to look into my mouth to put on the brace. this doesn't help much given that I'm anxious about my mouth most of the time (for no reasons).

I just noticed that the inner of my bottom lip is not smooth. like if I run fingers across it, it feels bumpy like fat pockets or something randomly across the inner of the bottom lip. what are those? are they salvia glands? are they normal? now I'm freaked out and I dont want to run to a doctor just for this. I can feel across the lip that it's bumpy.

thanks

Perfectly normal

thank you. i don't want to ask my husband to feel his inner lip. he would think that I'm anxious again.

Maybe you should though and talk things through with him

Definitely normal. I'm guessing those probably are salivary glands. I have them, too, and some in my upper lip as well.
