See a doctor: I would see someone about this. You need to get the bleeding to stop and find out why it has continued to bleed despite pressure.

Bleeding lip: When bleeding does not stop after 10 - 12 minutes of sustained pressure, then other possible explanations such as a severed vessel or poss ile bleeding disorder may be the reason. In the former, a minor surgical procedure is required to control the bleeding. In the latter surgery as well as blood products may be necessary

Need more info: I will assume this is an injury to a child. It would be unusual for it to bleed after 20 minutes of steady pressure. Most people hold pressure for a moment and then peek, hold pressure again for a minute and peek, etc. This is not 20 minutes of pressure! hold steady pressure for 10 minutes without peeking! if fat is showing or the bleeding does not stop, a stitch or two or glue may be needed.
