I found white spots on my upper lip and went to doc who said fordyce spots by just looking at them. any chance could be lip cancer?

Not at all: The appearance and distribution is characteristic. You are young (18 Y.O.), probably do not have any aggravating factors like tobacco use, so i would not worry and trust the clinician.
