Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
These small bumps are enlarged sebaceous glands.
These are totally normal and common.
You don't need to worry about these.
Apply lip balm on regular basis for 3 months.
It will soften your lips and reduce these bumps.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
