Hi thanks for writing to healthcare magic.I can understand your concern.

Bump over lip with clear liquid is due to mucocele.

It occurs due to blockage of glands on lip.

Lip biting is one of the frequent cause for it.

In most cases mucocele resolves completly without any treatment.However if it persists ,it needs surgical excision.

I hope this will help you.
