My betta developed a bubble between his nostril and lip on just one side. It just happened sometime during the night and I have no clue what it is or how to treat him. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Oh gosh... These guys are very difficult to see anything on. I think I see it, but can you draw an arrow pointing to it for us? Is he nosy and sticking his mouth/face in the rocks alot? Could just be a bump from that which will heal and fade fairly quickly. How long has the bump been there?

You can see his upper lip under the white "bubble". It just happen sometime last night, noticed it when lights came on.

Well, I'm glad I asked since I was looking at the wrong part! I still stand by my assumption though. Probably tried to nip at something and got caught by a bristleworm or something similar. You didn't say how long it had been that way.
