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 dealing with multiple lipomas on my hands and thighs and I'm really hoping there's a treatment option besides surgery. I tried homeopathic medicine before but didn't see any improvement - are there other effective treatments I could explore?

Surgery is the most effective option for multiple lipomas; non-surgical treatments have limited results.

I've noticed that my lunula is missing on all my fingernails except for my thumbs. I'm kind of worried if this could be a sign of some underlying health issues or if it's nothing to stress about. Any insights on what could be going on?

The absence of lunula on most of your fingernails could be due to various reasons, including genetics, trauma, or certain underlying health conditions. It is important to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking biotin supplements to support nail health
