Quite probably oral mucoceles

An oral mucocele is a harmless, fluid-containing (cyst-like) swelling of the lip or mouth lining (mucosa) due to mucus from the small salivary glands of the mouth leaking into the soft tissue, usually from injury (trauma) or blockage of the gland. A similar lesion, the mucus-retention cyst, occurs from blockage and backup of saliva in the gland.

Is it a STD when little pimple like bumps form on or around your mouth?

It **could** be the oral form of herpes BUT many people get "small bumps", say for example, after eating spicy or acidic foods. Spagetti sauce or pizza sauce can be spicy enough to cause irritation. **As always, do NOT rely on Internet sources or friends. DO visit a doctor for a professional diagnosis.
