Hi.
Thanks for your query.
With the history you have provided I would think of 2 probable causes.
1. Submucous cyst, which is a sort of retention cyst of a minor salivary gland.
2. This can be a small hemangioma.
Since this is on the upper lip, it would be wise to be seen / examined by a surgeon and get operated . He will definitely see that the lip is not disfigured.
