What Causes A Lip Lump With Numbness With An Unusual Taste?

I have a bump on my bottom lip. Its like half on my lip, half on my face. Its not very large. Like the size of a circular tictac. I don t think its mucocele because it doesn t fit the color description. Its kinda numb, and it tastes funny. It kinda feels like this part of my lip (right before the corner of my mouth.) I don t think its a core sore or herpes because I m not sexually active, and also it doesn t fit the description.
