Hi,
White spots on the inner side of the lips could be mouth ulcers. This is also quite common in hand foot mouth disease, so it is the same disease process. The other possibility is that they could be aphthous ulcers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth
