Hi,
Thanks for aksing the query,
From your description it does appear that the bumps can be due to some local factors such as bite or can be a reaction to some allergen. Other than allergy it can be herpes type 1 infection, recurrence is common and it is a self limiting disease so do not worry
I would suggest you to visit a Dermatologist and get a checkup done.
Take multivitamin suplements.
Hope this helps out.
Take care.
