There could be multiple reasons for the same. Folliculitis could b a reason but from what history u have presented it's most likely to be Herpes Labialis. It's a Infection with the herpes simplex virus around the border of the lips. Oral herpes spreads through close personal contact, such as kissing or it may even occur during the onset of ur monthly cycles. If untreated it will get chronic. So preferably consult a Dermatologist before using any creams.
