    If its on your mouth then looks to me like a cold sore (aka herpes simplex) -& you can buy cold sore cream/lotion

    Is it your mouth ?-the photo is unclear

      nothing on my lip. It's right under my lip. I haven't felt any tingle, itchyness, burning, or anything like that. My lip does not hurt it's under my lip.
