What's on my lip?

[craigpie]

I have numerous white spots on my upper lip that appear to be under the skin.  You cannot see them if my mouth is closed.  There are none on my lower lip. However my lips are very dry, and my upper lip tends to tingle or burn.

What is this?  I have read about Fordyce's condition and fell that may be it, but I don't know.....

Take a look of some of the posts and see if you have any symptoms as noted on that page.  I have been trying to find out what i have. but no luck so far.

Hi,

You need to drink plenty of water and also keep your lips well moisturised. Apply a medicated lip balm with a sunscreen to avoid damage due to the sun.

If your lesions still persist, it would be best to see a skin specialist for a confirmed diagnosis and to rule out any other cause of the spot.

Are you allergic to any substances? What symptoms do you have other than the lip lesion? What is your age? Do you smoke?

Let us know if you have any other doubts and also about what the specialist advises.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
