Ive had the same thing happening to me in the last 5 days now, located inside the lower lip. Its an 1/8th inch of a raised flesh colored bump which is painful in nature. Kinda like a riped pimple pain. Pops on its own and comes back up within hours. Ive observed it come back when i consume beers. Perhaps its due to dehydration or over heating in the body? I've never had this before, so im tryna figure what have i done differently recently that is causing this? Has anyone found any solution or the reason for this occurrence though?

If it's around your lip not on it it could be a clogged pore. I once had one above my lip and it was there a while and wasn't big but then after quite a while it would get bigger and red. I would use a needle to put a very small hole in it to drain it but it didn't help for more than a couple days. Then after getting my very frustrated that I had this big red bump on my lip for months that looked like a cold sore, except I don't have herpes so that was impossible. I decided to actually Pop it instead of draining it. I did this and blood started comin out a little. So I kept going thinking it was just filled with blood. Then a somewhat large white ball like thing came out of it and once I got it all out and all the blood out it healed up and never came back again. I believe it to be a clogged pore that just getting more clogged until skin grew over the pore and caused that irritated bump.

All you have to do is get a q-tip and dip it in hydrogen peroxide and put it on it for a couple seconds a couple times a day and it'll disappear

I have the same thing. Mine is literally yellow white puss though. It's not clear and continues to come back. It is on my upper gums and noticed it can't after eating a caramel apple. I never eat them normally and haven't had once since but this pimple like thing continues to come back. I don't think it is mucoceles. Not clear fluids. I don't eat super unhealthy either. any tips?

I get these and put abreva as will. Mine starts off as little bumps that hurt and so I immediately put abreva on and in a matter of hours it will get significantly worse and then they turn into clear blister bubbles like mentioned before. My family has gotten them but the only stayed as little bumps. Never as bad as mine. I remember one time I was given Valtrex and it went away in two days. They usually last for a week or two but again, I'm always putting abreva on it. I have not left it completely alone from the first sign of one.

Don't Panic! - This may help most of you recall why you have this annoying "Puss Filled Bump"

Mucous cyst: A mucous cyst is a painless, thin sac on the inner surface of the lips. It contains clear fluid.

CAUSES:
Where does a mucocele come from? It centers on a small salivary gland, which makes saliva in your mouth
Mucous cysts are harmless. Left untreated, they can form a permanent bump on the inner surface of the lip.
Your saliva moves from a salivary gland through tiny tubes (ducts) into your mouth. One of these ducts can become damaged or blocked. This most often happens if you repeatedly bite or suck on your lower lip or cheek.

Getting hit in the face could also disrupt the duct. Remember that "head-on collision" in your pick-up game of basketball last month? Maybe that was the original culprit.

What happens once the duct damage is done? Mucus seeps out, pools, becomes walled off, and causes a cyst-like swelling. A similar buildup happens when the duct has become blocked.

Symptoms
Mucoceles often show up on the inside of your lower lips, your gums, the roof of your mouth, or under your tongue. Those on the floor of the mouth are called ranulas. These are rare, but because they are larger, they can cause more problems with speech, chewing, and swallowing.

Mucoceles may have these characteristics:

Moveable and painless
Soft, round, dome-shaped
Pearly or semi-clear surface or bluish in color
2 to 10 millimeters in diameter

Exams and Tests
Your health care provider can usually diagnose a mucous cyst simply by looking at it.

Treatment
A mucous cyst often can be left alone. It usually will rupture on its own. Opening the top of the sac with a sterile needle will help it go away. If the cyst returns, it may need to be removed.

To prevent infection and damage to the tissue, you should not try to open the sac yourself. This should be done by your health care provider. Oral surgeons and some dentists can easily remove the sac.

Possible Complications
There are usually no complications.

When to Contact a Medical Professional
If it becomes uncomfortable, have the cyst examined by your health care provider during a routine examination.

Prevention
There is no known prevention. Avoid intentionally sucking the cheeks or lips between the teeth.

Alternative Names
Mucocele; Mucous retention cyst; Ranula; Epulis

hi, im experiencing the same thing you are. it showed up the day of the super bowl but popped on its own the same day, it returned like 2 days later and this time, when i rubbed my braces against it, it popped. its back now and thats when i decided to do some research. ive been trying to pop it all day without getting to serious about it. ive read that sometimes stress can cause them and ive been diagnosed with anxiety, but ive also read its due to extra heat, which ive been providing from eating jalapenos, pepperchinis, etc.. i remember having them when i was younger and once it was filled with odd tasting puss. i havent been to the doctors because my parents are nurses and they say its a liars sore but its been coming back these past few days.
