My dog has small little bumps all around her mouth and I’m not sure if I should be concerned or if it may be hot spots from the weather in Florida.

Those bumps may be related to infected or blocked pores. Keeping her muzzle clean and using a medicated wipe may help. Starting her on an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs may also help. Best of luck.
