it doesnt look bad in the photos but its really noticable in real life and getting worse

Could be due to injuries from lip locking or bumping against sharp objects and has healed completely. If this is the case you will notice the lower lip will be a little red before healing. The other thing it could be is genetics. Hopefully it is not any kind of mouth infection.

could it be from bumping into the glass from being chased

Mostly likely not. What other fish do you have with him? Do you have any sharp large rocks in the tank? How often does he lip lock?
