Suggest Remedy For Small White Lesion Around Lips
Question: I have small white ... I'll call them lesions because they're not really bumps ... on my lips. Not around the outside of my lips where you might expect fordyce spots, but more where my lips meet, especially near the corners of my mouth. I thought at first they were fordyce bumps, but the more I research them, the more I'm convinced that's not what this is. They almost look like flat pimples. Any ideas what this could be? I do have an appointment scheduled with my doctor for next week.
