Hi.
As per your case history of lesion on upper lip, my treatment advice is -
1. The lesion on lip may be either a pyogenic granuloma or mucocele.
2. Apply an antibiotic cream like mupirocin twice daily on it.
3. It will heal in about 2-3 weeks.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
