Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC ..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain a bump on upper lip along with a dent can be a swollen Sebaceous Gland or can be a cold sore caused by Herpes virus infection..
It can also be due to allergic reaction to some cosmetic or can even be a pimple..
Bacterial infection due to some infected cosmetics can be a cause..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and treatment can be planned according to the cause confirmed..
As of now avoid any lip/skin cosmetics, apply Petroleum jelly to lubricate the lips..
You can also apply Aloevera gel as along with lubricating property it also has a property of antibacterial and antifungal action..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
