How To Cure Tiny Reddish Dots On The Right Side Of The Lip?

Ive recently noticed some tiny reddish dots about 3 in the right side of my upper lip. It looks dry and it peels. I'm hoping it's not herpes. I'm hoping it's just razor burn but it's been there for about 2 months now. When i shave it's easier to notice which is why I've been growing out a light beard to cover it.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The reddish spot which you are mentioning can not be herpes, as it does not stays for such a long time, but it can be a starting of mole or some kind of skin infection.
Better once you should visit a skin specialist to get it examined.
Hope it will help you.
