Hi..
Thanks for the query...

As per your complain it seems that white spots at the corners of the lips along with whitish appearrence of lips that improves with stopping tooth paste use can be probably due to allergic reaction to the contents of toothpaste..
While it can also be due to fungal infection, chapped lips etc..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like microscopic examination of scraping from the lips and blood tests can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now keep the lips coated with petroleum jelly..
Do cool compresses on lips as well as the bumps..
Apply a combination of antibiotic and antifungal ointment..

Hope this helps..

Thanks and regards.
