Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As you describe in query that you have symptoms of red bump on the upper lip which could be due to dehydration, inflamed sebaceous gland, stress sun blister ands bacterial infection. Need not to worry. Usually they resolve with time by its own in few days. If it keeps on persisting along with other symptoms such as fever, itching them you should consult oral physician/dermatologist for proper evaluation and start treatment accordingly. You should take supplement containing folic acid and vitamin B12. Keep the area clean and avoid popping and itching it. Drink plenty of fluids and apply petroleum jelly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
