Does HPV Cause White Bumps On Lips?

I have read many of your articles about people with oral hpv concerns. Recently after doing some oral sex with my new partner i noticed some white clusters on each side of my lips that look like fordyce spots on my lips after my lips went very dry. My mom and sister get these spots but i never have and did not notice these before until now. Also i have a dry mouth it seems and i kind of seems a little weird when i swallow. My tongue seems to have some yellow layer over it and is a little numb in the middle. I have gone to 3 different doctors and been tested for all std's and all negative. I also had a sore throat for a little while that the doctors said was viral. We also had unprotected sex as well so im a little concerned
1- does hpv cause white bumps on your lips? or does hpv cause any sypmtoms besides warts?
2-am i just overly concerned and paranoid over this?
Kindly elaborate and send pictures

Hello young lady,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for the white clusters on your lips.
I have gone through the complete query and can make out that you are really very much stressed regarding the possibility of HPV.
In view to help you best I request you to kindly provide certain important points:
- Are these white clusters present both on upper and lower lips.
- Are these present on only one specific area or diffusely scatted all over the lip.
- Do you feel these are pointed and rough surfaced with brownish color.
- Any symptom in the clusters.
I request you to kindly upload few good resolution pictures of your lip area so that I can analyze it better. Kindly send good resolution pictures focusing the area of concern which can be seen on higher magnification. For uploading the pictures you have a facility on the right side of the page or can send on:

Fordyce spots or glands on the lips
Detailed Answer:
Hello young fellow,
Welcome again and thanks for posting the details with pictures.
Oh young man, sorry for addressing as I was not able to see your sex in the main part of the query and you talked about your mother and sister so I thought the same!!!
I beg your pardon for the same dear young buddy!!
After analyzing the complete pictures and correlating with your history let me reassure you fully that these are not HPV or warts or any relation to the same.
These are simple "Fordyce spots or glands" on the lips. These are pinhead size or slightly larger bumps present over mainly the upper lip. These starts from the corner of the mouth and then can spread to all over the surface and mainly on upper lip.
Basically these are proliferation of the normal oil glands which are present over this area. These are totally asymptomatic (without any problem) and are most commonly confused with warts or HPV in the initial course of appearance. A close examination is the must to differentiate one from another.
Warts are basically brownish in color with acuminate or thorn like projections and are never whitish.
There is no need of any treatment in this condition as it is totally normal condition. If at all some person are panicky then we do remove these with radiofrequency ablation.
For the part of discomfort in throat, yellow layer over tongue and little numbness in the middle: It is quite common to see in anxious states and stressful condition or when there is fear of something unusual. I so many times counsel your kind of cases who are really stressed about Sexually Transmitted Diseases and therefore getting such kind of symptoms.
To add more information: HPV never causes anything other than warts and there is no effect on tongue or throat.
I also suggest you to use protection in form of condoms in every kind of sexual act.
So just relax and enjoy!!!
I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.
"Wish you good health"

Your status is totally clean; lose your fear
Detailed Answer:
Hello young buddy,
Welcome to the forum again and thanks our for your follow up and sharing your concern with me.
I can understand your feeling and is quite a usual phenomenon in stress and anxiety states. You know the expression of anxiety is so much varied and wide that it can manifest in any way you perceive.
I have seen and counseled so many of patients having one or the other kind of anxiety and on asking the history gave exactly typical of the symptoms of that particular problem even being without the problem itself.
SO it is also not unusual with you to perceive one or the other symptoms in this anxiety state. Till the time you come out of the anxiety state your symptoms will continue one after the other because of over sensitivity.
Dryness in throat or difficulty in swallowing and superadded weak sexual desire are the typical symptom of anxiety.
The sexual desire has not gone forever but is temporary phenomenon and will revert back as soon as you will come out of the anxiety state.
In your kind of situation I suggest my patients to not to read anything related on internet. Keeping thyself busy in one or the other work. Not to sit alone any time and to keep good company. For me also just feel like a friend is talking to another friend. DO not think now that I am a medical personnel but feel like buddy and share your any type of anxiousness with me.
Other than above, as an expert of my field I cent percent reassure you that your status is totally clean and there is no correlation of HPV in your case.
Enjoy the day and keep yourself busy. I am there with you to relax your mind from any sort of anxiety.
"Wish you good health"

Hello young buddy,
Welcome again to the forum and thanks for your follow up.
Little raised surface of the penis is just an observation. Till the time we see XXXXXXX eruptions we can not designate the thing as any abnormality. So do not worry about the little raised surface.
Even if you are worried then can send few good resolution pictures of the area so that I can analyze it and guide you further.
Do not worry and relax.
