Looks like a canker sore, but I think it might be something else?

I've got this HUGE canker sore looking thing on the inside of my bottom lip.  It has come and gone several times over the last 2 months.  Maybe I'm exaggerating, maybe it's only been a month.  It doesn't hurt at all... when it "goes" away, it's after it pops, oozes gooey, clear stuff, and then yea~ it's gone for a few days.... only to come back again.  Anybody have any idea what it might be?  I've had canker sores before, and this definitely isn't one...  A google search as made me paranoid that it might be some sort of mouth cancer.  Please tell me it isn't that...

I think that sounds more like oral herpes.  Google it and get some info.  And don't be worried about it 50-80% of the population has it.
