Hello sir, it's a mucocele it's common in people with lip biting Habits or due to any traumatic damage to salivary glands, medications doesn't work with it, it's better to remove it by laser without injection and without pain.
It might come again so after your removal be in follow up

Yes it is a mucocele. A cyst related to the salivary gland. It may decrease in size and then increase again. It is better to get it removed. It should be removed completely as it can otherwise recur
