Hi,
The lump appears to be a cyst. Mucinous cysts / mucocoele are common on the oral side of the lower lip. The other possibility is apical periodontal cysts. They are generally benign and not concerned about.
Usually these cyst grow slowly and regress on their own. If not they need to be drained surgically. So keep a watch on these cysts.
