Brief Answer:
Twitches

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for your query.

The involuntary movements in some body parts are called twitches. Twitches in the lip are not serious. They occur due to improper signal transmission in the nerves. This can occur in conditions like vitamin deficiencies or can occur without cause.

There is no need for consulting the doctor for a single episode. If the twitches occur continuously non stop then you may have to consult your treating doctor.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
