What Causes Lumps On The Lips Which Are Dry And Itchy?

I randomly get small bumps on my top lip, and along the edge of my lower lip. This happens every couple days and doesn't seem to have a cause. The bumps seem to be just swollen lumps since they don't have a particular color (same color as my lips), and after a little bit of time they go away on their own. As their appearing, I can feel them developing and they make my lip feel dry and itchy. What could this be?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi. This can very well be herpes simplex. Indicates your low body resistance. I would advise you to see a dermatologist to confirm what it is and get a proper treatment.
You have to take multivitamins and other supplements as advised by your Doctor for quite a long time so that the body immunity improves.
