Thanks DM. How long have you had them and how did they come about? Just curious. I never noticed mine until I was looking at my gums one day. I spent a few months obsessing about these canker sores I kept getting on my tongue (from the stress of obsessing about them, ironically) and I got a bad one on my upper gum to go along with the one on my tongue that comes and goes. Anyways, I decided to try a home remedy to make the healing go faster and I put Alum Powder on my tongue. Its supposed to dry it up or someting, but it feels really weird in your mouth. So the next day I pulled my lip up to look at the sore on my gum and that's when I noticed the spots. I don't know if its coincidence or if the alum powder brought them out, but I am certain I would have noticed them before that since I was constantly looking tacky tongue in the mirror. Idk. Its strange

Yes, the spot is still clear. I used Erbium Laser which is a form of CO2 but goes a lot deeper. I also still use the .1% Tazorac daily
I noticed these about 5 years ago when I had a cut on my lip and was looking very close in the mirror. Im sure Ive had them forever but unfortunately, I noticed them that fateful day.

Wow so I guess its safe to say that it works. That's good to hear. I can't wait to get mine zapped. I'm so sick of these damn things. I constantly hide them when I'm talking and eating or whatever. Its exhausting.

Try a strong retinoid cream too, if not first. As mentioned, I havent really been begging to go back under the laser because the .1% Tazorac cream has really helped A LOT. I also stay away from eggs and dairy

I'm just trying to get the courage to tell my significant other about them so I can go to the dermatologist. I'm not too afraid to tell her about the ones on my lip, but I've got them all on my... Little guy, so its embarrassing as hell for me. Idk. Its literally ruining my life tbh.

Very interesting read. I’ve stumbled across a man whose cured his condition (Fordyce on lips) quite a bad case too. His remedy was vitamin a palmitate mixed in with fracrionized coconut oil. My spots started becoming noticeable about 5 years ago now and they are only getting worse as I get older. They are taking over my top lip line on both sides of the lips and I’m desperate to find something that stops it. I’ve oredered these two ingrediants today and can’t wait for them to arrive so I can make this concoction and hopefully my results are the same as the man who cured his.

Hello guys,, I just laser done last Saturday(dec 30,2017) unfortunately it did not wok i should say but.....I will try another test and will ask the doctor to go deeper.. the spot test, the dr made only is more on fractional side. I keep you posted and will post a pic of before and after. Thanks for DM for the advise. Hope for the best guys, Happy New Year to all:)

I said fractional does NOT work in my previous posts. You need full ablative setting with a erbium CO2 laser. I had fractional done and it did absolutely nothing.

Yeah I've read a lot of folks saying fractional did nothing for them. I really think it being 2018, they can get rid of them of they try hard enough. Just a matter of people going to the derm

What exactly does the cream do? Improves the way they look? Do the spots go back to normal after you quit? Was it prescribed? How much did it cost?
