Hi

These spots may be enlarged glands as the lips are lined by sweat glands. This does not need further intervention. Applying creams over the area may only further aggravate the condition especially if you have any known allergies. I would suggest you apply vitamin E cream over the area to help smoothen this part of the face. Exfoliation and microdermabrasion may help.
