please get done biopsy of suspected lesion, if biopsy comes negative than need not to worry, but if turned out to be squamous cell carcinoma than small lesion can be treated by electron beam radiotherapy,provided there should not be lymphadenopathy of neck from lip primary disease.otherwise advance disease can be treated by surgery followed by radiotherapy after seeing histopathology report of surgery.
