Is the raised skin above my lip due to filler or is it due to having previous patch of dry skin in that area? (photos)

Asked By:Jenny Clark in Kilmaurs, Scotland, United Kingdom
On the left side above my top lip my skin seems to be raised. In some lights I can see that it looks like a lump. It is not itchy or red. Previously I had a patch of dry skin in that area for which I was prescribed hydrocortisone cream. It is no longer itchy or red but the skin is raised. I have had my lips done a few times now using Juvederm. I am wondering if it may be some filler that has somehow ended up above my lip either injected wrong or migrated? It feels a lot thicker than other side.
