thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the red ball could be because of the hematoma or the mucocoele secondary to the trauma by lip piercing. consult your oral physician to rule out these two conditions. or it can be because of allergic reaction resulting in oedema of the lips. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
