Probably not herpes: If the spots haven't changed in appearance over a few days, they aren't herpes. Herpes lesion go quickly (a few days) from blisters to pimples to sores to scabs to healing. Most likely both the penile and lip bumps are normal.

Herpes/Fordyce Spots: Herpes lesions tend to be painful. Fordyce spots are painless lesions that are sebaceous glands that are not around a hair follicule. They are painless and are not associated with disease or illness. Herpes lesions tend to come and go: fordyce spots tend to stay in place. For a definitive diagnosis see a physician.
