Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I think I may have herpes. I went to my doctor and he told me that it was Fordyce's Spots and a wart but these white bumps have moved to my lip and there are two that are especially large and pulsate to my heartbeat. Is it possible that Fordyce's spots are on my lip and causing this pulsation?
As per your query you have white spots on lips . Well there can be many things that cause white bump on lips / Bu the most probable cause for white bump on lip is fordyce granule or spot . Fordyce granules or Sebaceous Prominence, are small raised, pale red, yellow-white or skin-colored bumps or spots .Fordyce spots are a type of ectopic sebaceous gland . Although they are harmless and require no treatment but If they persists for longer period then there is few treatment options like electro surgery , laser therapy ( Pulsed dye lasers ) and punch technique . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may examine carefully and rule out causes like canker sore , cold sore , bacterial infection or oral cancer . For now give cold compresses and apply raw honey at night .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
