Black bump on my bottom lip

I have a bump underneath the skin in the center of my lower lip.(on my face)  It looks white around th edges and looks black or dark grey in the center.  It is a small bump.  You can really only see it when I smile or stretch my lower lip.  I have never had this.  At first I thought it was a blackhead, but it is too big for that and it is under the skin.    It isn't a cold sore, it isn't red and doesnt hurt unless I try to sqeeze the heck out of it.  It is a firm bump.

It has been there for a week.  Hasn't gotten any bigger or smaller.  What the heck could this be?
