Are these fordyce spots? If so how can I treat them? (Photos)

Hello,

Thank you for your question and for sharing your concerns about the bumps on the corners of your lips. Based on your description, it is possible that these could be Fordyce spots. Here’s some information that might help:

Fordyce Spots:

Fordyce spots are small, painless, pale bumps that can appear on the lips, inside the cheeks, or on the genitals. They are enlarged oil glands and are a common, benign condition.
These spots are typically harmless and do not require treatment unless they cause cosmetic concerns.
Tingling Sensation:

The tingling sensation you mentioned is not typically associated with Fordyce spots. If the sensation persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it might be worth exploring other causes with a healthcare professional.
Treatment Options:

While treatment is not necessary, options for reducing the appearance of Fordyce spots include:
Topical Treatments: Creams containing tretinoin or oral isotretinoin may help reduce the appearance of Fordyce spots over time.
Laser Therapy: CO2 laser or pulsed dye laser treatments can be effective for cosmetic removal.
Electrosurgery: This involves using an electric current to remove the spots.
It is important to consult with a dermatologist before starting any treatment to ensure it is appropriate for your specific situation.
Consultation:

For an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, I recommend scheduling a consultation with a dermatologist. They can examine the bumps and discuss the best course of action for your needs.

Best Regards,
