HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is likely a cold sore.
You may not recognize the initial infection but it is very common. It would normally start with discomfort or abnormal sensation in the area.
This is followed by swelling and a rash (this can vary from one person the the next).
The area then heals over as described.
The repeat infections can be provoked by stress, illness, citrus or other acidic foods, fatigue, sun exposure.
I hope this helps
