Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain a bump on the lip can be a Hemangioma [arteriovenous malformation] or a fibrous tissue overgrowth causing a Fibroma or it can be a mucocele if it is at the inner margin of the lip..
Chances of a cyst are a bit less and above explained are the most common causes..
You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated an a Biopsy or FNAC can help in giving a correct diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly and will be most probably surgical to remove the lesion..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
