Hi,

These bumps may be oil or sebaceous glands on the skin. They are also called as whiteheads when they occur at the base of a hair follicle. They may also be due to hyperactivity of oil or sweat glands of your skin. Sometimes, they are caused due to trauma such as shaving.

They be benign and need no intervention. If you are worried then you may contact your doctor regarding this.

Let us know if you may have other queries.

I get tiny white bumps on the lip itself.  For example, I woke up today & found numerous white bumps on my lip that don't necessarily hurt but I can feel when I rub my lips together, as one does when applying lip balm.  I started having these a few months ago; I'm not scared that they're herpes sores because they don't erupt of scab over - they just come and go.  I think it's an unsightly issue, for me at least, and I want to know what can be done to reduce them.

Side note:  I have smoked cigarettes for 5 years now but just recently did these bumps start to form (around a period of time where my dental & physical hygiene was at an all-time low.)
