Suggest Treatment For White Dots On The Inside Of Lips

I have a few tiny white dots on the inside of my lip, they feel dry and irritated. what could they be? I first noticed them several weeks ago, just thought of it as dry irritated skin on my inner lip area, looked inside, they were white in color, tiny blister like.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query white dots on the inside of lips could be due to fungal infection causing white dots which can also be due to mineral deficiency of iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid. It could be due to minor salivary duct blockage or dehydration of oral cavity. Herpes virus infection causing cold sores could be one of the reason for this. Need not to worry, visit dentist once and get it examined. Once proper evaluation and examination is done, treatment can be started accordingly. Use topical anesthetic and analgesic gel. Maintain proper oral hygiene. drink plenty of water. Take multivitamins in diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
