PS I've read that the use of smooth bean laser is for the use of acne etc; would you have to ask a dermatologist to use this on Fordyce specifically or are there people in France etc who specifically use this for the treatment of Fordyce spots?
My whole upper lip is attacked by Fordyce. I can't even count spots, they are too numerous. I'm currently attacking spots with sage extract cream, tocopherol (vitamin E pills) - both are main ingredients of well known treatment but combined costs 3 bucks, and Vitella Zinc cream. Will keep u posted.

This will take about 2 months during which I will "toothbrush" my lip too, if it removes 5 spots of 500 i mark that it actually worked well. Next line of attack is tretinoin cream combined with AHA and BHA acids (next 2 months). Then isotretinoin. Next step will be only CO2 laser... My upper lip is totally splited in two pieces by half inch width fordyce group running from. Even my doctor said its really extreme condition but he dont recommend any treatment, cause CO2 laser helps only for a short period of time.
Hi thank you for the encouragement! I'm 18 and i'm so down right now, i don't have the energy to go to school anymore because of these bumps. How much is for the operation? I want to save money for it please please please btw i'm from the philippines too.
Is it a lip balm?
I tried a few suggestions on the internet (tea tree oil, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar) as well as ingesting a ton of vitamins and was not having any luck...
Just tried taking an orange squeezing some of the juice in a cup with hot water. Mixed it around and applied it to a paper towel and kept it on my lips for 5 minutes. They are a lot harder to notice now...
If I go looking in the mirror with a flashlight I can find them but not as noticeable at all. Supposedly warm water opens the pores and then the vitamin c gets in. Maybe add warm water press to ur lips before you try your own remedy??
For those having no success my mental suggestion:
Picture a flame burning in your mind. It flickers orange and yellow. Now picture it burning so hot it turns blue. Every time a thought comes into your mind... BURN IT. Keep doing this until you feel relaxed. Stop looking in the mirror and enjoy your life.

In the Netherlands they offer this
Thanks for this information about fordyce spots. I've been suffering from this for about a year now and am painfully self conscious about it. You guys and gals have given me hope and I'm ordering some jojoba cream and considering the 'hot needle' method too. Good luck everyone, you're not alone, don't give up! Will report back on results.Tim
Really interesting, how r u doing now, have they come back?
Hey guys my name is Kevin and I didn't notice any bumps on top lip till I was 18. But what strange is that I'm reading a lot of responses and I'm noticing that a lot of us are getting clusters and the bumps are more rapidly forming now than ever! I just turned 27 in May and I'm going to be 28 soon I've tried heavier vitamin intake, I've tried eating healthier and drinking a gallon of water a day for 2 weeks just to see if that'd help. Apple cider vinegar leaves a little scabbing slot bough I feel like it removed one bump it's not worth it. I've tried hot compress and last week I got so upset I started to damn near scrape it off with a knife. Every single day another bump forms on my top lip and it's starting to take up the whole right side which is weird also. I'm stressed because I've been told I'm extremely handsome and I have very big lips so it's going to be noticeable regardless. I'm just so confused and extremely nervous because if I don't figure this out I don't know what I will do. I've had a decent amount of woman in my lifetime but not one of them would ever deal with me again with something like this .... Guys we have to stick together and search and search make ppl aware this condition isn't the first if of its kind and it won't be the last we have to find a way .... I can not and will not live my life hiding without trying .... God bless please if anyone knows something that can help with this please let us know!!
What you wrote is eerily similar to my case. My lips were fine and then an aggressive girl would frequently bite my lips, sometimes causing bleeding. I had that relationship for three months, and developed "fordyce spots" thereafter. It's been 10 years and I still have these fordyce spots and doctors tell me I'm perfectly fine and that fordyce spots are benign. I also have as issue where some of the old bite marks will swell like an allergy response and subside in 20 minutes. This occurs roughly once a year, so it's hard to show to a doctor.
How much $ for the Lazer treatment
Hello I also suffered from fordyce spots for six years and fortunately I finally got rid of them last year. I started to notice them when I was 22, these ugly things started to spread and slowly covered my entire upper lip. Last year I decided to finally get rid of these ugly, annoying, disgusting granules invading my upper lip, so I went to Mercury drugs and bought a scalpel. I am now happily living without an upper lip.
