1. I have been having it for a while at random days. Not everyday.
2. No the swelling isn't painful
3. No unsafe sex or insect bite that I know of.
4. I'm taking no medication
5. No changes in food habits
This is only 1 bump and it swells only in the mornings. It goes down slowly once I wake up. Once it's gone all I see is the XXXXXXX I don't know y it only swells up in the mornings Or night. That's when I notice it. I will upload pics.

Hello,
Thanks for writing again.
From your description it seems that the small bump could be due to an allergy to lip gloss, chapstick, balm, or any other cosmetic that you are using at night. It could be due to a swollen gland also.
You can take an antiallergic like allegra orally. Apply vaseline on the area to keep it moist.
You can add over-the-counter 1 percent hydrocortisone ointment to your regimen for relief.
Hope my answer is helpful. Write back if you have further queries.
Wishing you a trouble free speedy recovery.

I don't use any thing on my lips because if I do my lips get really chapped. They are sensitive. Did you receive the pics? Is it normal that it happens only while I sleep?? Also that it's been going on for a while.
Hello,
I have seen the pictures. The swelling is more like a vesicle on the inner mucosa of the lower lip. It looks more like Gingivostomatits. A thorough check up by dentist will help in diagnosis.
In gingivostomatitis, symptoms usually resolve with fluid intake, good oral hygiene and gentle debridement of the mouth. Use chlorhexidine mouth wash and avoid acid drinks, like fruit juices or fizzy drinks, or drink them through a straw so they don't irritate your mouth. Also avoid spicy food and sharp food and citrus fruits.
You can also add Vitamin C supplements for better relief.
I encourage you to consult a dentist for both evaluation and management.
Hope this is helpful.
