I've noticed these tiny white spots on the inner part of my upper lip since April. They're not itchy or painful, but they're definitely there, and I don't exactly like how they look. I'm wondering if these could be Fordyce spots? If so, can you recommend any medicine or treatment for them?

The tiny white spots on your upper lip are likely Fordyce spots, benign ectopic sebaceous glands; while they are harmless and don't require treatment

I've been having this issue where every time I shave down there, I end up with these strange red bumps. I'm really clueless about what might be causing this and how I can prevent it. Could you give me some advice or suggestions on what I should do?

The red lumps may be a sign of contact dermatitis. This generally refers to an allergic inflammatory reaction on the skin seen due to contact with the metal of the shaving razor. You may want to switch to a ceramic blade, which is considerably less irritating to the skin. Also consider using soothing aftershaves, lotions or anti-inflammatory creams.

I'm feeling this persistent heat on my face, and it's making my eyes feel really irritated and burning. I already saw a doctor, and he suggested I do some blood and urine tests. All my test results came back normal, so the doctor said there's nothing wrong and I shouldn't worry about it. But the thing is, I still feel this heat on my face. I'm not sure what's going on or what I should do next. Any advice?
