top lip callus

I've been practicing my oboe every day for 30-45 mins. I appear to have a callus developing at very tip of my top lip, right where the two sides meet at a point.

I'm just wondering if this is a common malady for oboe players, and if it's definitely related to my oboe playing or not. I'm trying to figure out how it could be happening. I form an "O" with my lips when I play, so that part of my lip should not be rubbing against the reed.

Any comments? Thanks.
