Bumps on lips: Most of the bumps that occur on the lips are small cysts filled with mucousy material called mucoceles. They result when sometimes the pore for saliva production gets blocked and mucous builds up. They are benign. In some cases they may go away by themselves, but most of the time patients come to the doctor to have them cut out in a simple 3-minute procedure.

Minor salivary gland: It could be a minor salivary gland and may go away by itself. If it continues to get worse i would see a dentist or dental specialist in oral pathology or oral medicine.
