Based on your description, I recommend following up with your injector today. This sounds like an infection and needs follow-up. I hope this helps.

I'm sorry to hear about the possibility of infection after your lip injections. While this is rare, it is worrisome. I suggest you drop everything and go see your injector immediately! Do not try to treat this at home as this requires a professional evaluation.The key to avoid infections is meticulous sterile technique.Good luck. Dr. ALDO

Looking at your photos as well as the  description of symptoms it is quite possible you've had a Herpes Simplex breakout. A typical lesions begins with a small blisters with yellow contents and yellow scab. To have a 3-days long bacterial infection of the soft tissue that  "oozes pus" would most certainly cause many more signs and symptoms that you are describing. Of course, you need to notify your injector and seek her/his directions. Good luck!
