I have a rash on my upper lip i peeled it off and they look like small cuts. i've been putting vaseline but i've had it for 3 days. what can i do?

Cold sore: What you described sound like a cold sore. Leave it alone and it will heal in a few days. You may try over the counter cold sore remedy. Cold sores are reactivation of herpes simplex 1 viral infection.
