What Could Be The Reason For Having A Red Lump On My Lips?

A minor red lump (size of a small pimple) surfaced on the inner side of my upper lip. If i cut or puncture it with my teeth it erupts into volcano of blood and only clots if i keep pressure on it for sometime. Its been 14 days since i first discovered this and its still reddish in color (may be due to toothbrush which it comes across everyday). I don't feel any pain on pressing this lump but i am a bit concerned. Please let me know what it can possible be. thanks
