What Causes Tiny Red Bumps Above Upper Lip Area?
My 5 yr old son woke up this morning with a purple looking rash above his lip like a mustache. A closer look shows tiny red dots. No other symptoms. No pain,ithing or burning. Please help. Should we be worried? He also has been very active as we have been with family. Could it be broken blood vessel?

Hello
thank you for asking the question.
Red bump over lip without pain, itching or burning indicates probably viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus.it may occur due to bacterial infection or contact allergy.
wait for few days for change in size, discharge, pain, itching or burning sensation, if develops then consult a doctor.
no need to worry if you does not develop any sign as above described.
sometimes topical pain killer and acyclovir is used. it increase the healing process of sore.
Hope this will helpful to you.
