I've noticed these Fordyce spots on my upper lip for the last 2 to 3 months. They're kind of freaking me out. What can I do about them?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fordyce spots are small, painless bumps that appear on the lips due to enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands. They're completely harmless and usually don't require treatment. However, if you're concerned, a dermatologist can recommend options for managing their appearance.
