Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
It could be herpes.You may carry this virus for years without any symptoms if the immune system is healthy.A possible lip infection by a bacteria or fungus is possible.I will suggest you see the Doctor for examination and a Herpes work-up.
Hope this will help
Best regards
