Thanks for the query.
Sores on the lips and mouth are common and can be harmless or serious health problems.
Common benign lesions on the outside of the lips include rashes due to allergic contact dermatitis, chapped lips, warts, Fordyce spots, herpes simplex, and milia.
Better to comment if i can see the photo.
Hope i helped you.
