Currently using betaderm cream, I have itchy red skin with small white bumps around nose, mouth, & eyes. Occurs randomly, what is this issue called?

I think it's called the soft pallet. The skin flaps that attach to the tongue, when you stick your tongue out it moves too. Can you strain that when you cough? I was eating and started coughing and now I have a small bump in this area?
