Brief Answer:
Seems like a Moucous cyst or a Mucocele..

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain a small cyst on the inner aspect of the lip might be a Mucocele or a mucous cyst that can form due to rupture of the duct of minor salivary gland..
This lead to escape of saliva and accumulation in the soft tissues leading to formation of a small bump..
It is harmless and does not lead to anything serious..

I would like to know a few more details so that I can give you a considerable diagnosis and advise you how to proceed for treatment..

1. Do you have pain in the lesion or it is painless?
2. Since how many days it is present?
3. Did it appear suddenly or grew slowly?
4. As you indicated that you have visited a doctor, what did the doctor say and what treatment he advised?
5. Is the lesion hard or soft?

Kindly answer the following questions so that I can guide you better towards treatment..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
