A zit ON the lip - not the edge? (sh.itjust.works)

I found a lump on my lip the other day. Like literally on the lip-lip. Not the edge where I've had them happen before. I've NEVER had that happen. A zit ON the lip which I squeezed a yellow lump out of.

How does that happen? AFAIK the lip doesn't have pores? It's a mucus membrane?

That's like getting a zit on your eye ball...

How? Am I going to die? Has anyone else had this?

Don't tell me to see a doctor about a lip zit!

*HSV

Herpes simplex virus

HPV is human papilloma virus which is equally mundane as the immune system can usually get rid of it without medical intervention.

Thanks. I always confuse all the abbreviations.
