Suggest Treatment For Bumps On The Lower Lip

Hi I have two tiny bumps on my lower lips. They are colorless and I did not notice them until I scratched my lip and nicked them. I have mono and I have never had a cold sore or a canker sore. I was wondering if these two small bumps were cold sores? I do not have a history or those and they are not blisters nor or they red but I am freaked out. Also, I go to the tanning bed so I did not know if it could be a burn

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Two tiny bumps on the lips that are painless and colourless does not seems like cold sores as cold sores commonly appear like fluid filled blisters..
They are probably appearing like fordyce's spots that can be due to hypertrophied sebaceous glands or oil glands..
So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician for a clinical examination so that the exact cause of the bumps is ruled out and treatment can be done accordingly..
In case if it is fordyces spots generally no treatment is needed until they are unsighty..
In that can laser removal of the glands can be done..

Hope this helps..

Regards
I find this answer helpful
