Thank you for contacting health care magic.
As per the description of lesion by you, you are having a comedone on the margin of the lips. It is a common condition. It is often self limiting.
However if you want to get it removed for cosmetic reasons, you can consult a dermatologist who will do extraction for you. It is safe and painless/ mildly painful procedure.
You should avoid handling it youself. Also do not pick, rub or lick. It can give rise to secondary infection.
With regards
