three horizontal bumps on lip

so a few days ago I noticed three itchy bumps on my lip i was so nervous and assumed herpes. i put garlic on it and the inflamation went down a bit. when i went to see a doc she said it doesn't look like herpes and they can do a culture bc there isnt fluid to pop etc. its been three days the bumps are kinda still there and itchy only thing is there was some skin peeling on it but nothing else. i was thinking maybe it happened bc i smoke and probably burns myself ? ezema ? has anyone had this before ? im going to take a blood test in 2 weeks to rule out herpes and im going see a dermatologist soon

It could be a huge variety of things causing this- allergic reaction, infected pore- to just name a few.  I'm glad to hear you are seeing a doctor- because that is the best bet to get a more definitive diagnosis.  Let us know how your appointment goes!
