What Could A Painful Lump Under The Lip Indicate?
Well I have a lump on the outside of my right "lip" down below and it is sore to touch. It's the size of a pee I would say and it's under the skin. It's not white or even reddish,, it is like an oval ball kind of and I don't know whether to be concerned or not.

Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I would keep a possibility of a bacterial infection of the hair follicle.
I would advice that you get a prescription for an oral antibiotic (penicillin group e.g Amoxycillin) from your local care practitioner.
An OTC antibacterial ointment can be used at the site.
An OTC pain killer/anti-inflammatory would help you symptomatically by relieving the pain.
