Illness/Sickness: Weird lip bump?

[Elliriyanna]

My new girl got this bump about a week ago, at first I thought it was just a little pinkness from maybe bumping into something but now it looks swollen, She still eats well and poo's and is active.

Usually, lumps and bumps on an axolotl are benign and, while they should be noted, they don't cause any harm. I don't know if it's different depending on where the bumps are, though.

My adult axolotl about a year ago developed a similar looking bump on its tail. It never got worse and has never seemed to effected him.

I got this picture today, Its bigger than I thought.

It could just be a fluid build-up. Sometimes they go away after a while, sometimes they stay there. But more often than not they're harmless and don't bother the axolotl any. Keep an eye on it though, it may be something else.

That still looks like what my axolotl has on his tail. His got about that big.
