The filtrum.
Wikipedia says:
The philtrum (Greek philtron, "love potion") is the vertical groove in the upper lip, formed where the nasomedial and maxillary processes meet during embryonic development. When these processes fail to fuse fully, a cleft lip (sometimes called a "hare lip") can result. The ancient Greeks used to believe that this benign spot was one of the most erogenous spots on the human body, hence the etymology.

it truly is termed a philtum. an engaging reality is that in babies who were uncovered to alcohol even as in utero (ie fetal alcohol syndrome) the philtrum is flat, now and again not even there. it truly is one thanks to recognize them. except that, no theory what it truly is for.
