<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi, Ive been noticing for a while perhaps around a year that I have a small soft bump on the edge of my upper lip on the right side. I havent bitten myself or hurt myself in any way that I can remember. I thought it was just the shape of my lip on that side for a while, then it seems to have grown a little. This morning I noticed it is coming to a small head a little like a pimple, but it is not painful in any way and when I run my tongue along it, it just feels like a little bump. Could it be anything serious like cancer or is it more likely to be a mucocele?? Please advise. Thank you  <response>: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The soft tissue lump over the upper lip could be a muscle or fibrous or a fibrosis musclesince you are giving history of one year. The muscle will appear as a soft swelling with a bluish tinge. Usually it ruptures and again comes back. Consult an oral physician and get it ruled out. It is a benign lesion nothing to worry. You can get it excised under local anesthesia. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
