Is mucocele in the mouth is a harmful condition? i'm worried?

Mucoceles are what happens when the outlet "pipes" of mucus producing glands break/scar and a bleb of mucous backs up causing it to develop. It is an inconvenience/irritant more than anything. Oral surgeons and some dentists might remove them. On a scale of 1-10 for problems I consider this one a 1/2.

THE MUCOCELE IS A CYST IN MOUTH OR LIP CAUSED BY TRAUMA OR LIP SUCKING THEY DRY UP AND DISAPPEAR. NOT HARMFUL OR DANGEROUS.
