No I am not. Its not an allergic reaction. IDK I clearly see new dots after each use of lip stain. Weird maybe the chemicals are drying my lips out causing more oil to be produced? Either way thanks for the advice much appreciated.
Co2 will get rid of them for about 5 to 6 months. It will comes back worse. Just tell u what happened to me that is all.
Totally agreed with you
I wish I could give u a huge. I totally agreed with u.
it means we just have to wait and see our lips looking like a disease ? i have seen some picture on google and it's scary i don't want to be like this...
Hey guys lets keep this thread going. It was dead for some time. Well I am in my late 30's and never had these before last year. I was having adult acne which was embarrassing as most adults don't have acne. I started using a clean and clear facial cleanser and the adult acne went away, but these fordyce spots appeared on my lips bottom and top. I have tried many things and nothing makes the go away. I try to keep the lips slightly moist with blistex lip medex and I think it makes them less noticeable as no one has said anything about them although I try not to lock eyes with people very long. I really hope I'm the only one who notices them as this is depressing.
I really think that permanent tatooing should work. I know 1Wish said it didnt work but then again I'm not sure what kind of procedure he had done. I rad online there are some permanent tatoos that last 5-7 years. Also I researched online and found a Japanese procdue called sebaceous gland ablation..... Guys please keep this thread alive!
Hi all!Yes we are going to keep this thred going until we find a cure that works!! I went to a skin-doctor and showed him my fordyce spots that are all over my upper lip. He understood my concern and is going to help me :) . Either i'm going to get BCA-acid (there's a scientific report about BCA-acid if you search on google) or i will start taking accutane for 6-8 months. He said that this might work. I think BCA-acid will work!! I've also been taking tretinoin cream on my lip for the last 4 months. Sorry to say but that didn't work. My lips only got a little bit better and the spots became a little bit more invisible. I think that the spots are too deep into the skin and that the cream cannot reach them. I will post more about my progress, and you should read more about BCA-acid!!!Good luck everyone.
That's awesome to hear. Keep us informed on your treatment as there are many of us looking for a solution. I don't think people notice them as much as we do as I have a hot chick I work with and we have to be real close to each other and she had a close up view of my lips many times, but just admitted to me that she wants to date me. But I know those of us with the spots just want the peace of mind of looking in the mirror and not seeing these spots.
Yes please keep relying. Please dont give up on us. I am about to buy Apple Cider Vinegar . And will tell u guys if it works.
Thank you everyone who has put in their input
Apple Cider vinegar doesn't work at all, sorry! I have tried it without any improvements. The spots are deep into the lip and needs a much more stronger treatment. Like BCA acid, co2 laser, accutane. Tretinoin cream made my spots a little bit better so you can try that as well. But it takes a few months for it to work. Be patient! :) Bought it on a online pharmacy. I know that the spots are not so visible for other people, but once you noticed them yourself it becomes a hugh psychological problem and you can't stop thinking about it. I have a girlfriend and she didn't noticed the spots at all before i told her about them. And she doesn't think they are disgusting! The best thing you can do is to go to an skin-doctor and hopefully get a proper treatment. Stop trying to treat them yourself with vinegar, carmex, jojoba oil and stuff like that, it will only make you feel disappointed because the lack of improvements.
hi SSS, how many times you use the lactic acid in a day and how long you let it stay on the lips?few minutes? I bought Refresh Therapy Lactic Acid 10% and Tretinoin 5% and I wanna try the combination.Also I am already using Jojoba Oil 3 times a day and Tretinoin at night.Thanks
I went to a micropigmentalogist yesterday and she said because the dots are filled wit oil tatooing the lips will not work. Also I woke up with a swollen red dot on my upper lip that I know is a fordyce spot but looks like a pimple. Uhhhh I am getting so tried of this.
