Looks like a mucocele . You can visit your dentist and get it checked clinically. It can be removed by doing a little surgery.

From the photo it looks like it is a mucocele that happens due to lip biting or sucking on the lip. You can get it removed by a dentist under local anaesthesia. It is a completely harmless procedure.
