lump on lip help. Mucocele?

[x0x0]

I posted a while back about having a lump on the inside of my lower lip. I have had it for three weeks. I went to Urgent Care to have it looked at, but unfortunately they told me that they don't know what it is and just sent me home. I do not have insurance or a dentist.
One of the members of this thread commented that it might be a mucocele, and it does look like the pictures of mucoceles on the internet. Does anybody have any experience with these? Is it supposed to have gone away by now? I have been freaking out over it.

I had a mucocele in my lower lip around ten years ago - started as a small white spot and then grew into a huge cyst in my lip, filled with mucus. In some cases they disappear, but mine continued getting larger (mostly because I kept biting it when chewing, and rubbing against my braces). Was inconvenient but not harmful. Luckily had it removed in a simple surgery.
Just try not to play with it/pop it and it might get smaller!

I was the one that suggested it was a mucocele. Sometimes they go away, sometimes they don't. usually they reach a certain size then stop getting bigger. Mine was removed in an ENT office in about 10 minutes. The lip is the most common spot. If it looks like the internet pic, then stop worrying. Mine wasn't too big, and I had it for about 2 years before it was removed. Basically because I got tired of feeling it in my mouth.
