Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
form the description, it could be herpes labialis or contact dermatitis due to makeup product.
If its due to make up product, it should involve whole lip. If its herpes labialis, it usually occurs at the same place and is preceded by feeling of numbness, itching or pain at site of affliction.
Right now, do not remove the scab and apply a topical antibiotic cream ike fusidic acid cream. Also please meet a dermatologist nearby.
