Need help identifying this lump on lower lip. Is it a mucocele or muccous retential cyst? Maybe some

About two weeks ago I started feeling a small lump on my lower lip. The size and shape of the lump is a small, round dome and is very soft. I can push on it and flatten it out and when I let got it becomes the same round dome shape. The color is translucent around the outside and darker blueish inside. The lump has not grown and remains to look the same. Over the last couple of days, I have been rinsing with warm salt water a few times a day and also using Listerine mouthwash in the morning and at night but have not noticed any change.

I have added a few pics for your viewing. My apologies, each pic was taken in a different light and why it looks a bit different.

Any idea what this lump on lower right lip is?

    Its possible that this lump has appeared because of external damage or a possible bite of some kind. But there are many reasons why the lump is there. I do believe its a temporary inconvenience.
