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)

Jenny Clark
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.
