Brilliant you've had two vet recommendations! Check any toys and houses for nails - sometimes these wood items have nails, and the hamster chews the wood and -eek. But if you're sure it's not that then they almost look like cold sores. I suppose it could be an allergy as well. A vet check would be needed anyway I think.
