Noticed A Lump On The Lips

I found a pea sized lump on lip of mouth. Seems to be deep. When I pierced it only blood came out. It seems to move if I touch it, but it goes back to it s original position. Doesn t hurt. I have never smoked or had any alcohol. I tend to bite my lip in my sleep, but I don t remember biting that particular spot.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. There are two possibilities. One is it is a common Submucus cyst, simply a collection of saliva in a retained cyst of minor salivary gland.
Another possibility of a small hemangioma.
Both conditions need excision and is possible under local anesthesia.
