Hi, I randomly always seem to have a bump appear on the bottom corner of my lip. It ll be there for two days & then disappear. Small bump, with a white head. It will be a little sore but then be gone 2-3 days later like it was never there... What could it be?

According to your history it seems to be case of superficial folliculitis. For this you should use a topical antibiotic like mupirocin or fusidic acid over the affected site and if it is recurrent you should apply the same antibiotic over your anerior nares , external ears, finger and toe web spaces, axilla, groins, umbilicus and perianal area for atleast 6-8 weeks.
