What Causes Recurring Whiteheads Around The Corners Of The Mouth?
I have recurring small whiteheads around 2cm from the corner of my mouth. These whiteheads then pop and release the white puss. These then continue to ooze (clear) which causes the spots to crust over. These generally in clusters of 3 or 4 spots. I have been using aciclovir 5% for the last few years to help treat these, but I want to know if there is anything I can do to stop this completely as I have scarring on my face now.

Hi,
It might be Fordyce spots.
It will be better if you attach a picture in the query.
You can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated to make a diagnosis.
Nothing much to worry as it is a harmless condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
