Possible oral cancer? growth on the lip?

I have certain things that are really really worrying me. For some 2 month i have raised bump on my upper lip. It's painless, looks a bit like a pimple and it's not changing in size as far as i can notice. I can't squeeze it out or anything and it basically doesn't bother me except in a way that i'm worried what it is. It's rather small, and doctor had trouble noticing it when i pointed it. It's softish and coloured like the skin with a tint of red. So any ideas what could it be?
I stumbled here because for the last couple of days i have trouble swallowing as well, but it could be due to using Corsodyl as a mouthwash. Also I've noticed small change in bite but the my dentist said i just have a beginning state of periodontitis and that deep cleaning should sort it out (i'm booked for one next week).
As you can see i have a bit of symptoms for oc and i'm naturally worried. could these sympotms be interconnected?

I went to a gp yesterday but she didn't even take me seriously, said it's nothing, and that it'll go away. of course i wasn't really satisfied with that answer. i'll definitely go to get second opinion, but any ideas what it could be until i go to next apointment, as i'm terribly scared. what should i do?
Thanks for answering!

Go see an oral surgeon and have it removed. It could be a mucoceleor a fibroma. Both are not malignant but the do not go away by themselves. A mucocele is a fluid collection caused by a blocked gland. A fibroma is excess firous tissue usually caused by some type of repeated trauma, ie, lip biting or irritaiton from a dental appliance like a partial denture.
