Rough Upper Lip. Swollen, But Not Itchy. Why Is It So?

one section of my upper lip (on the outside) is very rough while the rest of my lips are normal. even after i apply chapstick, that one spot does not feel the same. it does not itch but does seem a bit swollen. it does not look like a blister. i have not been using different products (toothpaste, mouthwash, face lotion, or chapstick).

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
It is a little difficult to diagnose the problem from the description. It is better to show a Dermatologist. I thought of a condition called Fordyce's spot. You can search the net and compare. Hope this helped.
Take care
