Suggest Treatment For White Bumps On The Sides Of Mouth And Lips

Ok so I have a patch of white bumps on both sides of my mouth and on my lips. They are very hard to notice and have no pain or irratition, last time I was at the doctor he said they would go away, but they haven't, I've never had sex or kissed a girl recently so I don't think I could be herpes.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain painless and hardly noticeable bumps on the side of lips and over the lips seems to be raised sebaceous glands also known as Fordyce's Spots which are small sebum [oil] producing glands and many a times when they are raised they appear as small bumps..
They are harmless and normal anatomical structures and does not need treatment untill they cause any discomfort..
As they are on your lips and in case if they are causing any discomfort you can get them removed by Lazer treatment under supervision of a trained dermatologist..
In case if they are not visible and causing no cosmetic problem no treatment is needed..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
