thanks for your query, i have gone through your question, the lump over the lip could be a mucocele or irritational fibroma, it occurs secondary to trauma like lip biting... consult a oral physician to rule out these two conditions..nothing to worry you can get it excised... consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon..i hope my answer will help you..take care..
I find this answer helpful
