Often confused and assumed to be the early signs of STIs it is more often than not a case of "Fordyce Spots", the condition is basically small sebaceous oil glands which get blocked and cause spots. Not helping with the confusion is that in men these spots can also be found on the gland of the penis.

As this is a benign condition there's no set 'cure', a common recommendation are the same as treating regular spots: Try to open the pores in your lips with a hot towel when washing your face. If you're really bothered by the spots, or if you're unsure if this is the correct diagnosis, it is still best to seek help and advice from a GP or dermatologist [the latter will usually be more accurate, due to the confined field of research].
