What Could Bump Inside The Mouth Indicate?

Hi. I have a "bump" on the inside of my mouth where my gums meet my lip. So I guess the lower left part of my inner lip. It is skin colored but kind of clear. Also it is hard, but i can move it around my tongue kind of. I have no idea what it could be. Any suggestions?

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.

You did not mention any infection or pain in your teeth
A clinical examination is absolutely necessary to diagnose this swelling.
This can be due to hurting your lip,biting or hitting etc.

A provisional diagnosis of mucocele can be made from the information provided.
You must get the mucocele removed along with the involved minor salivary gland.
Regards.
