Brief Answer:
nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to healthcaremagic,

I do not think you have anything to worry about.

The whitish line that you described is probably caused by friction or pressure from your upper teeth where they touch your lower lip.

Its a very common finding and does not require any treatment.

It is definitely not fungal infection.

You do not need any tests.
