Hi. Small blockage of salivary gland as told by your Doctor is called a Sub-mucous cyst. But it is usually whitish and not red. This needs a simple treatment of total excision under local anesthesia with few dissolvable sutures. This is a simple OPD procedure and completely cures. If the blister is red it can be a small hemangioma that is collection of small blood vessels. This too needs the same treatment. And a small advise - do not pick up the lip between teeth as has been observed in other patients with similar problem . This is by habit.
