It looks like Heaven has suffered from some sort of abrasion on his lower lip. If this is the only area affected then I would not be too concerned. He likely just scraped the muzzle somehow. Typically I would recommend a topical antibiotic ointment but, because of the location, he will probably just lick it off. I would recommend keeping an eye on it for now and if it progresses then have it checked out by your vet.
