Hey everyone I'm new on here. I have had my axolotyl Ponyo for 2 years now and the past 2 months I've noticed her bottom lip looks swollen. Not sure if she has always had this or if it's something to be concerned with. She eats daily earthworms and is acting normal. Please help don't know if I should be worried.

Pictures attached

Oh wow! The picture from below looks like it's under the surface of the skin, not inside the mouth. Though just check inside the mouth if you can in case there is any damage there.
It could be a cyst or tumor possibly? I'm not sure there is much you can other than seeing a vet.
