Specializes in Dermatology

Usually from licking: often times the redness on the lip is from licking your lip. Try a wax based lip sunscreen to prevent the enzymes from your mouth getting on your skin. If it doesn't resolve add a little hydrocortisone at night. If still persists, see your dermatologist to get diagnosis.
