tiny bumps on lips

[amesw]

I suddenly have developed tiny bumps on my upper lip.  A few months ago this happened in just one little patch but it went away, and I can't remember if I did anything.  But just a few days ago they appeared again on both sides of my upper lip.  Then, the next day they had spread and now go all the way along the ridge of my upper lip. They aren't particularly noticeable except they change the shape of my lip, making it look smaller than it was in the places where they are on the very edge.  They are very very tiny, definitely not cold sores.  I've seen some things about Forcyde spots, but everything describes those as 1-3mm in size and these are even smaller than that.   Everything I read says to ignore forcyde spots, but these are very uncomfortable.  my lips feel dry no matter how much stuff I put on them, and they feel scaly because of all the teeny tiny bumps.  I used to have problems with seborrheic dermatitis around my nose when I was a kid so the only other thing I can think of is that.  Is there something else they could be?  If they are forcyde spots, is there a way to make my lips feel moist again?  I don't care about the appearance, but they are very uncomfortable.

I had the same problem with my lips. They were rashy tiny bumps that made me feel uncomfortable. I used desitin maximum strength original paste with 40% zinc oxide. I applied desitin to my lips when I got home that day for a couple of hours. I showered and reapplied it and went to sleep. The next day I applied Vaseline throughout the day to keep my lips from cracking or drying up. I stopped using random chap sticks for moisture and just used the Vaseline. By the time I got home again that day day my lips were 95% healed and almost completely smooth. I will apply desitin again before I sleep tonight. I hope it will be 100% healed tomorrow morning. Im sure it will be. Using the combination of desitin and Vaseline gave me fast results. The only problem with using desitin was that it was difficult to remove from my lips. I used a towel and warm water to remove it. I was also very gentle. I hope this helps. It definitely helped me quickly.

Okay, I am having the same reaction, so I figured I was allergic to acid foods. Everything that you have in your post is happening to me.  The itching, swelling and the condition actually burned my lips.  My lips was brittle like a Brillo pad, so I used lip bum and Shea butter for moisture because of the dryness. I did not have blisters, but it was like inner fever escaping my body, all around my mouth, very red.  Do anyone know what this is?  I have had cradle skin year ago, which was strange for my age, but adults get it also.

IVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR YEARS AND I THOUGHT I HAD HERPES BUT IVE ASKED AND WAS TOLD NOT HERPES AND THE BUMPS ARE THE SAME COLOR AS MY SKIN AND DONT HURT OR HAVE ANY REDNESS BUT ITS LIKE A CLOGGED PORE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I POP THEM AND HARD PUSS LIKE FROM A PIMPLE COMES OUT BUT ITS NOT WATERY ITS LIKE A PASTE ALMOST AND AFTER I SQUEEZE IT OUT THE BUMP LEAVES BUT THEY ALWAYS COME BACK WHAT IS THIS?????

I have the same problem you do. Little skin colored bumps on my lip line. I can pop them like blackheads almost and they go away for a day, but they always come back. I'v seen 3 different doctors and they assure me that it can't be herpes, but they have no idea what it is. I wish I knew what is was and had a cure, because I would shout it from the rooftops. If you find out what it is let me know and I will tell you if I do.

I had this same exact problem. Itchy tiny bumps on and around my lips and it makes your lips feel dry. Mine weren't very visible but when I licked my lips, they felt like sandpaper. I went to the dermatologist and she told me to stop using all the different chapsticks that I was and just use Vaseline. Then she prescribed me Desonide ointment which you apply two times a day, five times a week. I did this and in the first week, my lips were nice and smooth again! Hope this helps!

My lips usually itch, swell, and then the bumps present themselves. They are the same color as my lips/ slightly more red. They come and go. I don't eat mangoes, can't say that I ever have. I live in a Michigan and the bumps only began to appear when the weather got colder. Unfortunately, I have to blame this significantly old flavored lip gloss from b&bw. That's when they first appeared, I didn't think it was the gloss but the more I used it, the worst the bumps got. I put my chap stick (Lypsol- also a great product) over it to help and because I didn't wash my lips first, the gloss transferred to my chopstick and made it bad too. I washed my lips and use neosporin and that helps. But now when I use any other gloss like the previous the same thing happens again. So it's neosporin for me.
