How To Treat The Big Bump/lump On The Lower Lip?

I had a big bump/lump on my lower lip in front of the teeth. It was getting pretty big so I put pressure on it and it popped, and this yellow ooze came out of it. The lump is gone and now I just feel a big hole where the yellow stuff came out of. Should I be worried? Will it come back?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your question, the lump or swelling could be a mucocoele that is a cystic lesion arising from minor salivary glands...nothing to worry.. it occurs following trauma to lip like lip biting...if it comes back again, consult a oral physician and get it excised... i hope my answer will help you.. take care
