It's a pathological condition. It may get infected often. I think you should go for surgery.

It depends upon the clinical presentation. Where is it located? Is it in line of occlusion where it can get more injury? How big is the lesion? How often is it appearing?
Next Steps
Check for any sharp teeth poking the area where you get mucocele
Health Tips
It is because of injury to the tissue. Consult a doctor or send pictures of the lesion for further evaluation
