What Causes Bumps On Upper Lip?

I thought it was a cold sore but I ve never had one and I m not sure what they look or feel like. It s a small patch on my upper lip that doesn t hurt or itch or anything but it feels dry to touch. It has a bunch of small bumps and several are starting to turn white. Any thoughts?
