Brief Answer:
Red Spots

Detailed Answer:
Hello I just read through your question.
The most common reason for this is dry lips. This can sometimes happens when the lips are not appropriately moisturized. Sometimes these areas can become infected. That is why it's important to watch closely.

I recommend using any medicated lip balm to help heal the area and prevent it from happening again.
