Dear Tom54911,

Thanks for writing in.

The bumps that you have are called Fordyce's spots. This is not a disease but just an anatomical aberration. These are sebaceous glands which were not supposed to be there but have accidentally developed over the lips.

No treatment is required and these spots will never cause any problem. I would suggest you simply relax and forget about them.

I will be available for any more questions that you might have.

Hope that this information helps and hope that you will get better soon.
