Depends: An infection of the lips may be of viral or bacterial origin. If viral, very often it is not treated, if it is severe, acyclovir, zovirax or other anti-viral meds may be used. Sometimes steroids are used. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotic therapy.

Get seen: the concern is not infection: an ulcer on the lip that won't heal should be biopsied. A plastic surgeon will be able to diagnose and definitively treat
