What Do White Bumps Inside Lips Indicate?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The white bumps over the cheek and lip can be a fibroma or a frictional keratosis secondary to chronic irritation by the sharp teeth. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. NOthing to worry, it is not cancer, it is a benign lesion. If any teeth are sharp, then get enameloplasty done.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
