Kindly share picture if possible to suggest best treatment. This is called as mucocele, which occurs because of a ruptured minor salivary gland duct usually caused by trauma like lip biting. Saliva gets accumulated under the tissue causing a swelling. Some resolve on their own after a short time. Others are chronic and require surgical removal. Recurrence may occur, and thus the adjacent salivary gland is excised as a preventive measure.
