Based on the facts of your query the reply of your query is-
Your current health issues seem to be due to -
a-the lower lip redness / soreness could be from stress / or stomatitis or vitamin defficiencies.
b-and the left arm prominent arge vein with pain to touch- could be due to TOS (Thorasic Outlet Syndrome)-Venous type, mostly from Subclavian vein / or Axillary Vein compression due to Cervical rib and other vascular entrapment causes in left neck region.
This vein bulging is because of the temporary Vein obstructions with Thrombophlebitis, due to Movement of the shoulder and arm, causing temporary entrapment of Axillary or Subclavian Vein on left side.

Do's suggested-
Check With Chest Surgeon/ Vascular Surgeon-Doctor- with Adson's test and CostoClavicular Maneuvers.
Chest X-ray / and Cervical X-ray-CT Neck and USG with Color doppler would fix the exact cause of this vein bulge on left arm.
