Is that on the kitten's lip? They are usually part of the eosinophilic granuloma complex family - specifically an indolent ulcer. They are often brought on by some allergic reaction, and sometimes it can be as simple as getting rid of plastic dishes/bowls that tend to harbor bacteria due to the porous nature of plastic, even when cleaned regularly. Stainless steel or ceramic dishes/bowls, while also needing cleaned frequently, do not collect bacteria as easily.
Sometimes, antibiotics are needed to help get rid of it. And, in the case of kittens, I would strongly recommend you seek out help from a vet, especially because there can be other conditions that cause these ulcers, such as fungal, bacterial, or viral conditions.
