Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The growth of the skin over the lip could be because of the scar or irritational fibroma or a mucocele.
Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a scar nothing to worry unless it interferes with function and appearance. If it is a mucocele or fibroma, get it surgically removed under local anesthesia.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

The growth of the skin over the lip could be because of the scar or irritational fibroma or a mucocele or arterovenous malformation. Get a diascopy test done to rule out these things..
Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a scar nothing to worry unless it interferes with function and appearance. If it is a mucocele or fibroma, get it surgically removed under local anesthesia. If it is a arterovenous malformation, then get it treated with surgery or sclerotherapy.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
