Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am not sure I know what spot you are referring to, but I think you mean the pinker spot on the left upper lip. It could be just be an area that lost some pigmentation, an area of trauma that will resolve or a permanent change in pigment. Personally I would just recommend watching the area and see if it changes. Have a good day!
