View allI'm really curious about treating these little bumps on my lips called Fordyce granules. I've heard that tretinoin gel 0.025 might help, but I'm not sure if it's effective for this. Are there better options I should consider? I'm just looking for something that actually works.
Tretinoin gel 0.025 can be beneficial in reducing Fordyce granules on the lips to some extent. Fordyce granules are small, yellowish or white bumps on the lips caused by the abnormal presence of sebaceous glands. _Benefits of Tretinoin Gel 0.025_ 1. _Exfoliates skin_: Tretinoin helps remove dead skin cells, which can aid in reducing the appearance of Fordyce granules. 2. _Unclogs pores_: Tretinoin can help unclog pores, reducing the size and visibility of Fordyce granules. _Alternative Treatments_ If Tretinoin gel 0.025 is not effective or suitable for you, consider the following alternatives: 1. _Isotretinoin_: A stronger retinoid that can be more effective in reducing Fordyce granules. 2. _Microdermabrasion_: A non-invasive exfoliating treatment that can help reduce the appearance of Fordyce granules. 3. _Laser treatment_: Ablative or non-ablative laser treatments can help reduce the size and visibility of Fordyce granules. 4. _Chemical peels_: A solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers and help reduce the appearance of Fordyce granules.

I'm really struggling with an acne problem that I've been dealing with for what feels like forever, maybe 6 or 7 years. It's super frustrating because just when I think it's gone, it comes back again. Right now, my doctor has me on tretiva 30 mg, and it seems to be helping a lot. But I'm worried about whether there are any negative effects of taking tretiva. Can you give me some insight into what I should watch out for?
side effects include nausea, headache etc , continue all the medications ..
