Brief Answer:
Cheilitis, topical steroid and moisturiser
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at Healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it seems to be cheilitis which is inflammation of the lips most likely to cold dry weather and exposure to cold winds.
I would recommend you to apply a topical steroid like mometasone cream on the affected areas twice daily for 10 days along with frequent application of a moisturising cream containing white soft paraffin on the entire lips 4-5 times during the day.
Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Brief Answer:
Don't think any chances of herpes
Detailed Answer:
I have gone through your entire history and don't think there are chances of herpes.
Usually for herpes of the oral cavity and lips the incubation period is approximately 5 days.
The virus usually spread through infected secretions of a person having lesions of herpes.
The virus won't pass through instruments as it dies within few seconds.
The doctors always autoclave the instruments that have beed used in a patient and then used in other patient.
