Small bumps all over top lip and rim of bottom lip...

I've got small bumps all over my top lip, as well as the lower rim of my bottom lip.  I'm not sure what's causing it, so I was hoping I could get some advice.

I'm not sure if it will let me post a picture, but here is one: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f213/digikym/PART_1326910010398.jpg

Some facts:

I've been dieting since June 2010 and have lost 45 lbs.  I eat at least 1 apple a day... could the sugars in this apple be causing this?
I eat flaxseed meal several times a week.
I sleep with a CPAP machine, with a tank of water and the humidifier enabled.
I apply lip balm every day and night.
My lips sting and I've been applying chapstick every 15 minutes.
I exercise daily - between 40-50 minutes of hard cardio.  I sweat a lot (that includes around my lips).
I drink at least (10) 8-ounce glasses of water daily.

Thank you for any help or guidance!

Oops - that date should be June 2011, since I've been dieting.

Also... it should be noted that I have not been sexually active in over 4 years.

I had what you are describing... Wash with antibacterial soap! Mine was caused my bacteria caught in the pores near my lip... You can't pop them or anything... All you can do is wash!
OR it could b normal glands which will never go away... Men mainly get that.
