Red bump on lip

[Coasty]

Hello I recently noticed my beardy has this small red lump that popped up out of nowhere. I was wondering if its something we should be worried about?

Hello,

Do you know of any way that he could have injured his mouth on anything, or do you syringe feed him
at all?
Since it just suddenly cropped up, I would say you should probably get it check out. I am not sure if it's
an abscess, or a cyst, etc. Is it hard or soft?
Has it affected his ability to eat?

I was thinking maybe a super worm bit him but we noticed it after his bath a day ago it hasnt affect him eating he's still taking the super worms but I don't know if i should wait and monitor it or go to vet

Hello,

Ok, if a superworm bit him which is very possible, it would definitely cause some swelling of the tissue there if it was bad enough. They do have quite the pinchers on them.
You can monitor the area for a short while to be sure it doesn't get larger. Perhaps the swelling will just start to recede.
You can use some raw unpasteurized honey on the area to help in case it's slightly infected or inflamed.

Hello,

So the area is hardening, has it gotten larger in size recently?
I'm sorry you have to take him into the vets but let us know how things go at the vets!
