Do you have little white or yellow bumps around your lip line? Those are Fordyce spots, prominent oil glands that are completely normal. In fact up to 80% of adults may have them at one point or another. They are not a virus or an STD. You don’t need to do anything about them and they often can fade with time. Topical retinoids like adapalene or tretinoin may help and a dermatologist can help with things like laser treatment. #dermatologist #lips
