I have blister on the inside of my cheek. It hits the eye tooth on
the bottom. I've had it for about two weeks. It is small and appears
to have a clear fluid inside.
It breaks and feels fine for a couple of days and then comes back.
Breaks, comes back.......etc.
Is there something I can do to encourage it to heal?
thanks

Almost certainly a small mucocoele (mucous retention cyst)--small ones
are very common inside the lower lip. Usually they eventually heal by
themselves. Larger ones have to be removed.

Whoops !
Answered before seeing your response.
Recurrent ones are bothersome and are easily removed.

I get them fairly frequently--very small. Mark has had one surgically
removed--no big deal.

Sounds like a mucocele (mucous cyst)
Easily treated.
Get thee to a dentist !
