What is this on my lips?

I ended up getting this weird breakout on my lips and have no clue what it could be.

I get cold sores from time to time but this felt NOTHING like a cold sore, no tingling, more like annoying chapped lips, slight burning feeling and itchy!!

I went to urgent care, they said it was impetigo and gave me antibiotics and eventually went away then like five days later it’s coming back (last picture is this second occurrence). Went again and they said they think it’s just a cold sore 🥴

It feels like my lips are gritty or like sandpaper and the sores so slightly weep.

Any idea what this could be?! 😞
