Been eating pickles now I have bumps on lips?

Okay so my mother has started to buy pickles. I love pickles! They are not whole pickles, they are the quarter slices where 4 of them equal a whole. I've been eating about 2-3 daily for the last week. Since I've been doing that, these bumps have popped up on my upper lip. :[ I don't kiss anyone, I wash my hands every time I eat, and I don't do any sexual activities. But then again, I've switched from using Carmex to using Chapstick Moisturizer. Oh and I've been eating regular Lays Potato Chips also with those sandwiches. I don't know what the problem is. :[ Help!

    Pickle juice is acidic. The acid could be causing this. Especially if you eat them with chips, the salt and acid can really dry out your lips. But I sincerely doubt it's an infection.

    Your description is very vague but it's unlikely that the bumps are related to the pickles and if they are, it's not an infectious process.
