Hello!Thank you for posting in HCM.

This can be a mucocele of your lip.Do not panic.It can be due to a trauma in your lip.This can lead to traumatized salivary gland duct.I suggest you to see a oral surgeon.You must get the minor salivary gland removed along with the swelling.This will prevent any recurrence.Maintain proper oral hygiene routine.This is a minor procedure done under local anesthesia.


Hope this helps.
