Since it is from past 25 days , you must visit a dentist to get a thorough diagnosis done . It is better to prevent any health related event that suffering from it later due to lack of concern. The dentist would get a biopsy done for the same which would be of immense importance to you and the dentist to rule out the problem.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist as soon as possible and get a correct diagnosis done.

Hi
Could u please attach a photograph.
It might be oral mucocele,any trauma / injury to Minor Salivary glands present on the lip.These are usually painless.
Reasons could be:
Trauma
Lip biting habit.
Damage or blocked ducts
Nothing to worry about it,it ll heal by itself.
Keep observing if there is any change in size and shape,it can be surgically removed .
Hope your question was answered
Next Steps
Consult a nearby dental surgeon if u find changes over a period of time.
