I didn't know where to put this.

I noticed the other day that Blaze has something weird going on with his lower lip. It almost looks swollen on the right side and little on the left too. I looked back at the pics I took the day I brought him home (this past Sunday) and he has it in those pics too. I was thinking since he likes to dive off of his basking rock that he hurt himself but he had it before I got him.

What do you think it is? Am I worried about nothing? These are the best pics I could take. I've added some pics from the day I got him too.
The right side (worse side)

It's looks worse in the pics from today than it did when I first brought him home. Man I have bad beardie luck. :(

His lip looks a lot better this morning. I think he must have bumped it one of the times that he tried to be superman and jumped off his basking rock. I'm a little bit of a worrier about Blaze since my last baby beardie, Sammy, passed away at a very young age.

It's getting worse. He's lips already shed so that was not it. He jumps from my hands a lot and I think he keeps bumping it. I can't figure out how to get him to chill out when I'm trying to handle him so I guess I'll just leave him alone until he's bigger. I don't know what else to do. I hold him, he jumps, he hits the same booboo on his lip and it gets swollen. :(

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
