It does sound like one , and is not a cause to concern. You may want confirmation by a doctor or dentist. When they get big and unbearable, an oral surgeon or ENT can remove it.

Lip biting, lip sucking and trauma can cause mucoceles. They often go away in 3-6 weeks but will reoccur if biting continues. An oral surgeon can remove it if you desire.

Approx 4 weeks ago a clearish glassy bump developed in my inside lower lip. No known trauma or reason. Not painful, but swollen, red & annoying. Maybe mucocele or canker sore? No self remedies work. Seeing dr next week. Any idea on what it could be?
