Apparent lip pimple: This could be a "blind" pimple, an ingrown hair, a plugged sebaceous gland, or something else. After a month, it would be a good idea to have it looked at by a physician. It would seem by this time that it is unlikely to resolve on it's own.

Mole: A flat brown spot anywhere is probably a harmless mole or freckle. Your primary provider is the best person to be sure.
