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.

View allI've had alopecia universalis for a year and my doctor prescribed decdan 0.5 to take every weekend 5 on Sunday and 5 on Saturday. But I'm getting ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery on my knee next week. Should I keep taking the medicine or stop it before the surgery? I'm a bit worried about how it might affect the procedure or recovery.

Can you tell me more about the Hair Fact Kit tablets and what they're used for? Do you think they're worth taking if I don't have any vitamin deficiencies?
Continue same treatment.

I've been on isotretinoin for a few months, and I'm in my 5th month now. My doctor upped my dose to 20 mg twice daily 'cause it wasn't working much initially. But now, after about 45 days, my hair's gotten thinner, and when I was checking out some videos on isotretinoin's side effects, someone mentioned it could cause erectile dysfunction. Since hearing that, I've started experiencing it too, and it's been happening for the past 5 days. Its stressing me out and affecting my mood. I havent told my doctor about the erection issue, but my dose got cut back to just 20 mg a day. Besides that, I'm also dealing with a stomach ache, digestion issues, testicular discomfort, and dryness in my throat, eyes, and lips. Im super confused and anxious about continuing isotretinoin. Could it really be the cause? What should I do? Your guidance could really help me out.
