What Causes Tiny Itchy Bumps On The Upper Lip ?

I have tiny bumps on my upper lip they do not itch, tingle, or burn. They can only been seen if I look closely in the mirror. They're basically the same color as my lips but a little white can be seen. I have been sick since last week and this is the first time I've seen them. I've had oral sex in the past, maybe 2 years ago. Only did not use a condom twice. But they dont look anything like the pictures of genital herpes I've seen. What could they be?

thanks for your query, the bumps could be because of the prominent minor salivary glands or it can be the vesicles because of the herpes virus infection. consult your oral physician to rule out these two conditions. nothing to worry unless it increases in size and causes pain. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
