Hi All,
Ive been having these white spots on and off for about a year. Sometimes they really hurt and look really p***y and nasty. I tried loads of stuff to get rid of them including changing things in my diet, stopping smoking etc.
I have found something that works for me and i suggest you give it a try. Firstly you have to be a bit OCD with cleanliness - keep your hands really clean all the time and avoid touching the area as much as possible.
Have a shower every morning and allow plenty of warm water to wash over the affected area. After your shower, use a 2 sided exfoliating face wipe. The ones i use in the UK are made by 'Simple'. 1 side is exfoliating and 1 side is cleansing. Gently wipe the area with the exfoliating side for about a minute. Then 30 seconds with the cleanser side. Wait 5 minutes and then apply some oil control moisturiser. I use 'Simple' - Oil Balancing.
Do this shower/cleaning process again in the evening. Try not to miss any sessions - keep to the 2 a day, every day. I have been doing this for about 6 weeks now and my lip is pretty much back to normal.
A note for guys - shave at least every 2 or 3 days with an electric shaver. I use one that squirts out nivea gel to reduce friction.
One other thing that i think is worth a mention - look to get some healthy fats in your diet. Find some Omega 3,6,9 capsules and find some flax oil. Lots of people who go on low fat diets break out in spots. I pretty much cut fat out of my diet around the time i started to get the spots.

Although very frustrating to try, the vinegar works to an extent, but will not solve the problem permanently. Use Blistex (Lip Medex, Conditioner, or Complete Moisture) or if that doesn't work, try Shea Butter. Fordyce spots develop due to severe dryness of the lips, whether it be due to climate, genetics, or oral health. The lips must be consistently moisturized for them to disappear.

Could using lipsil help? I thought I had an std when I first found the, im 20 an noticed them about 3 months ago. I hate them.

I have these also on the upper lip. My dermatologist zapped everyone of them, but they keep coming back. Kind of painful getting it done too.

I didn't have any luck using chapstick, but I am using accutane for acne and it got rid of the fordyce spots on my lips and genitals.

the blistex work right away at soothing my lips and the bumps have going. its like magic for real. i found this today and went to buy it today and its working today already.

My problem started about seven months ago, it has drove me crazy!! I used the blistex when my lips first started. They started off chapped, I used the blistex. The following morning I woke up to swollen lips!! I looked like someone had punched me in the mouth. I'm like you guys..I've used everything and then some. I think that it's a defiency in vitamin A and B that causes the problem.
The things that I've found that help keep my lips somewhat normal are liquid aloe vera, multi vitamin, and organic cod liver oil before bed. My upper lip gets wrinkled if I don't do these things. Does anyone else get that wrinkled upper lip where the spots are?
I haven't had any swelling since the first time I noticed them....knock on wood..lol.
I went to two different doctors and one told me I had dermititis and the other said herpes. It took me searching until I found a picture of someone elses lips. I found that going to a health food store really helped!!

Wow, I just started getting these about 2 weeks ago, then they disappeared now they are back. Im 23 and never had any problem with my lips and now this? i thought i had herpes but these pictures and people describing them seem just like mine.

I think i may have found a solution to make them almost disappear by about 90 % although it only work for individual spots or a 2-3 cluster patch at most.
Basically i just used the tip of red hot needle to burn the suckers. It's almost painless and right now it gave me pretty decent results for the 4 spots i tested. No they are not gone but they are now very faint , almost invisible , and it improved the appearance by a lot. It's a bit like a more hardcore version of the vineagar method mentionned in this thread except that it's much much less annoying to do. There are no signs of scarring whatsoever.
It wouldn't surprise me if they came back like they used to at some point since i didn't remove them completely (the problem lies in removing the base of the spot which is easier said than done and is probably impossible do do without scarring with a needle) but so far so good :-). If they do come back ill just pay for the C02 laser and be done with it.
I can"t guarantee that it will work for you but it somehow did for me. Also note that i'm not responsible if anything goes wrong. Try at your own risks.

The fordyce spots appeared about a month or two ago on my upper lip, as well as other breakouts of acne around my vermillion border. The Blistex Lip Medex works, if you're really consistent with it. However, I did run across the problem of swelling lips when waking up in the morning, after applying it during the night. After awhile, my lips became really sensitive and sore, but I guess that was from too much lip licking because of that cooling feeling from the Lip Medex, which then caused windburn. To counter/soothe that, I used Eucerin's Aquaphor "healing ointment" during the day. It's almost like regular petroleum jelly, but I guess with some added medication stuff.
After about a week or two, and with constant face washing with any facial wash with salicylic acid, the spots disappeared. So nowadays, I just carry around that tub of Lip Medex and the Aquaphor with me whenever my lips start to dry up.

Icredible, but blistex really makes fordyce disappear. For me it took 2 weeks, but it works!
