Hi dear ,
As per your query you have white spot on lip . The white spot on lip is a result of hypopigmentation in this case the melanin producing cells that is melanocytes do not able to produce enough melanin , which create white spot . I would suggest you to apply citrus fruit juice daily for 15 minutes and wash away , do gentle massage with jojoba oil for 5 min daily , Exfoliate your lip , start taking folic acid supplement and apply frozen liquid nitrogen to your lip. If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist to rule out causes like Fordyce's Spots or malignancy . Doctor may recommend procedure like laser therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
get well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
