Suggest Treatment For Flesh Colored Bumps On The Lip

I have flesh colored bumps on my upper lip they re only noticeable when you look up close or when i use aquaphor, then they appear to be clear. They don t itch burn or tingle but they re just there and idk what they are. I ve been to the doctor and one said it was the dryness of the weather because we had a harsh winter so they gave hydrocortisone and then the other said i could be getting a cold sore so he prescribed acyclovir and I ve been taking them but it nothing seems to be happening. I also take L-Lysine tablets

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain small flesh coloured bumps that are present consistently and are noticeable only after keen observation the they can be Fordyces spots which are raised small sebaceous glands and many a times they are raise enough to become evident over the upper lip, they are also present inside the mouth in the area of inner cheeks extending from the corner of mouth inwards..
They are harmless structures and will not cause any problem and removal of the same can be done by lasers in case if they cause cosmetic problems..
Consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and planning of treatment..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
