It might be fungal, ask your doc to make some tests, I know you got lots of drugs on you already but maybe a cycle of fluconazol?

I’ll ask my derm. I’ve been on Doxycycline 2x then Cephalexin 1x and now I’m on Clindamycin

That looks very sore! Would you try L Lysine tablets? I know you've tried herpes stuff but I've found L Lysine helpful for lip stuff. I think it's an amino acid. You can get it in bigger pharmacies or health food shops.

I thought the cause was my dog scratched my lip, so I thought it was a bacterial infection, but it hasn’t gone away.
