Hello,

thanks for writing in and the pics. i appreciate that.

The bumps that you have are called Fordyce's spots.

This is not a disease but just a anatomical aberration. These are sebaceous glands which were not supposed to be there but accidentally have developed over the lips.

No treatment is required and these spots will never cause any problem.

You may relax and forget about them.

If there is any further question, you want to ask, please do not hesitate.
thanks
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
