I've noticed a small white bump on my upper lip that popped up about 23 days ago. It's not painful, but it's kinda near the center of my lips. Should I be worried that this might be something serious?

I'm dealing with vitiligo and my doctor suggested using Melback lotion, but I can't find it anywhere. I did come across Melgain at the drugstore though. Can I use Melgain as a substitute? What's the difference between Melback and Melgain, and how exactly does Melgain work? Would appreciate any advice on how to use it properly.
