I think it is mucous cyst. It is caused by lip biting, check biting, accidentally rupture of salivary gland, adjacent teeth causing chronic damage. The cyst develops when the mouth salivary gland become plugged with mucus.most cyst are on the lower lip . They usually temporary and painless.if cyst is permanent the treatment is required.
Next Steps

It is called a mucocele. Accidental biting on the lip causes blockage of saliva/salivary glands. Usually painless and harmless. But if it is bothering you it can be excised/removed under local anesthesia.
