Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of white spot on the lip which seems like fordyce's Spots which is a very normal occurrence as these are slightly raised sebaceous glands and are not any pathology.


I would suggest you to maintain a good oral hygiene . Avoid hot and spicy food which can increase the pain. Benzydamine, chlorhexidine mouthwash are effective treatment agents for this. Spots will subside gradually with such combination of factors. Avoid licking or sucking of lips and apply cold compresses. visit dentist once if symptoms keeps on occurring and complete examination done and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
