Can you get someone to either film you or take a still photo of you, showing you playing, so we can see your embouchure and how the reed might be rubbbing on your lip? Post it on Youtube or Photobucket, someplace like that.
I've never heard of anyone getting a callus on their lip, but it's possible that you have some kind of personal configuration that brings the two halves of your top lip together, so they rub against each other, when you play the oboe. I have something similar happening on one of my toes--the skin of the upper side of the joint actually rubs against itself, spanning the top side of the joint, because the toe bends too far the "wrong" way, so I have an otherwise inexplicable callus there, have had it since I was a little girl.
