What Causes Bubble Like Spots In Lower Lip?

This morning I woke up with a small clear bubble on my lower lip near my teeth. When I looked at it and touched it, it popped immediately without any pain. The bubble was in a spot where I sometimes bite my lip while eating. Is this anything to be worried about?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain a bubble like lump over the inner lip can be due to formation of a mucous cyst also known as Mucocele and it can occur due to ruptured duct of minor salivary gland secondary to trauma to the lip like due to lip bite..

It is painless and harmless growth and mostly resolves on its own by rupturing and spilling its contents into the mouth..
In case if it reoccurs doing concentrated salt water rinses can help in shrinkage..
You need not to worry as there is nothing serious and you are completely alright

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
