A member asked:

On my upper lips i have these whitish tiny circular bumps on my lips been here for years also my lips feel irritated on a daily basis it feels dry ?

Milia: These sound like milia which are essentially obstructed pores. They can be removed with unroofing or by warm compresses to the area. These are usually a sign of lack of skin turnover and exfoliation in that region. With respect to dry lips you simply need a quality lip balm/moisturizer.
