Hard pimple like growth on upper lip

Hello,

I am a 24 year old female in good heatlh. Recently I noticed what SEEMED to be a pimple, (raised bump that hurt slightly) anyways I spent DAYS trying to pop this thing and it would not give. Now it seemed to be a growth instead of a pimple. Its very hard and under the skin. When I stretch my upper lip u can see it as a white pea sized growth under the skin and SLIGHTLY red border. When my lip is relaxed its just a bit red. It doesn't seem to be getting any bigger, but I was wondering if this is cause for conern?

What I did to help it...
I put polysporin and ice on it.. nothing helped.

Thank you.....
