What Causes A Residual Lip Spot After Respiratory Infection Treatment?

My 2 and half year old son has a minor upper respiratory infection about a month ago. Pediatrician prescribed a compound medication he had an allergic reaction to it and we stopped giving it to him after 3 days. The last day of his final dose I noticed a red dot above on his upper lip. I thought it might have been a fever blister trying to rise due to the fact that the medication gave him a super high fever. However, that red dot is still there and has been for over a month now?? Any suggestion sometimes it looks redder and sometimes it looks like its going away but never does??

Hi
Welcome to HCM


These tiny bumps on upper lip could possibly be Fordyce Granules which are tiny deposits of fatty tissue.
Staphyloccocal infection can cause fluid-filled blisters around the nose and mouth.
Contact dermatitis or allergic reaction to certain foods or toothpaste, milia, infected hair or sweat glands are few other possibilities.
This can be milia, which are benign, keratin-filled cysts. My advice is to get it evaluated from a dermatologist. Treatment will be specific based on the cause. Do write to me again.
Best luck and regards!
