A mucocele: A clear painless blister that continues to recur on the roof of the mouth is a mucocele.Its due to buildup of salivary fluid from a blockage in a salivary gland duct causes fluid to accumulate in an abnormal area.The condition is harmless, and may stop recurring on its own.If doesn't resolve or if painful or enlarging, can be drained.Try Evening oil primrose orTemovate cream(Rx)>may stop recurring
