My upper lip to my nostril has gotten really swollen & painful internally. gotten worse over couple days and can't tell if it's ingrown hair or bite?

Possible infection: The marked redness suggests inflammation and possible infection. The cause of this is difficult to determine. I would suggest you see a doctor and start on some antibiotics. Infections in this area could potentially be serious.
