Fibroma: Hello, it sounds like you have developed a fibroma from the trauma of biting your lip. Avoid further trauma as best as possible and visit your ENT physician. Sometimes a steroid injection can be given but reassurance and observation usually allows these to resolve without any further treatment needed.
