It sounds like it may be something that is caused by repeatedly biting the inside of the lip or cheek. But it could be something more serious. The only way to know for sure is to let your dentist look at it. If they don't know, then ask for a referral to an oral surgeon. Oral Surgeons are experts at things like this. If it is just an irritation fibroma your dentist can remove it quickly and relatively painlessly. Good luck.

The picture suggests Mucocele. Seeing an oral surgeon is advised.
