Suggest Treatment For Small Clear Pimple On The Bottom Lip

Most probably mucocele
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM....
I read short history you provided. The lesion developed suddenly might be vesicular. Which ruptured after pricking and healed without scar or erosion..right? This suggests most probable diagnosis of mucocele... Do not worry.
It does not seem herpes simplex. If it is mucocele, it is a harmless condition. But, it might recur and might heal without treatment. If it occurs again and you feel embarrassing, then consult the Dermatologist or ENT surgeon. He may guide you properly for its recovery. Rupturing the small lesion under strict aseptic precautions may be helpful. If it is large one, then removal of the cyst is required surgically.
I hope this would be helpful to you. Please let me know if there's any further queries.
Thanks.

Mucocele
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You are right. Trauma to the lip might induce formation of Mucocele. Basically it is a small cyst containing mucin. Blockage of salivary gland duct may leads to mucocele. This might happen if you repeatedly bite the lip. So, avoid the bad habit of damaging the lip...ok
There is no need to worry ,..even if it occurs again.
Thanks.
