Bumps around lips

Hi, you doing I really hope you can help me or maybe prepare me for the results I will hear when I go to the doctor. For the past week I had bumps on the side of my lips. I just thought they where reg. bumps so I started using clearasil & face masks to get rid of it. Then it started to go away so I started to put coco butter to clear the marks. Then a few weeks later it reappear but now they started to surround the whole side of my lips. People was saying maybe it was herpes or a std so I tried google comparing images but it dont look similar to none of the pictures I saw online and plus I'm very responsible when it comes to sex. Do you think you have an idea what it might be?

Hello,
It can be due to folliculitis or perioral dermatitis. Perioral dermatitis like acne is a chronic papulopustular and eczematous facial dermatitis. It mostly effects women and appear around the nose, mouth and eyes. Treatment consists of oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. A mild soap or soap substitute, such as Dove or Cetaphil should be used for washing. Scrubbing should be avoided.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
