More info: Could be a cyst or a blocked salivary duct. Could be a tumor. It has to be evaluated and possibly removed.

Mucous Cyst: Mucous cysts are common. They are painless but can be bothersome because you are so aware of the bumps in your mouth. The cysts are thought to be caused by sucking the lip membranes between the teeth. Mucous cysts are harmless. If left untreated, however, they can organize and form a permanent bump on the inner surface of the lip.
