    Mucocele (Mucous Cyst) Explained
    Jan 24 2026

    Noticed a soft, squishy bump on your lip that looks like a bubble and won’t go away? It could be a mucocele (mucous cyst) — a common, harmless swelling caused by blocked or injured salivary glands, often after lip biting.

    In this ,we explain:


    • What a mucocele is
    • Why it forms (and what triggers it)
    • How it looks and feels
    • When it goes away on its own
    • Treatment options and when to see a dentist or oral specialist


    If your lip bump keeps growing, keeps coming back, or becomes painful, it’s best to get it checked professionally.
