This looks a little more like a skin growth or maybe a cyst, but it could also be a reaction to having something stuck in the lip. I would recommend keeping an eye on this area and if it does not seem to be resolving in the next 3-5 days it is more likely that it is a growth and you should have Chispita examined by your vet.
