Some women have to for a long time refuse to use shimmering translucent shines, replacing them with lipsticks with a dense texture. The reason for this decision is the white dots on the lips beneath the skin, which, although small enough, are clearly visible visually and significantly spoil the appearance. They occur quite often, as a rule, represent a cosmetic, not a medical, problem.
Why did the white spots appear on the lips beneath the skin?
The most likely cause of the defect in question is Fordias disease. It is characterized by the appearance of small, up to 2 mm in diameter, subcutaneous nodules, called granules. They do not give a person any discomfort and unpleasant symptoms, including itching, pain, irritation and puffiness.
It was not possible to establish exactly the factors provoking Ford's disease. Experts assume that the granules can form on the background:
- genetic shift of the sebaceous glands (congenital);
- smoking;
- post-traumatic changes in the position of the sebaceous glands;
- fluctuations in the hormonal balance (puberty, menopause, pregnancy);
- narrowing of the ducts of the sebaceous glands;
- increased secretion of skin.
It is important to note that this pathology is not considered a disease, doctors describe it as a cosmetic defect. Therefore, special treatment in this case is not required if a person with Fordis granules does not experience psychological discomfort due to their presence.
Other causes of white spots on the lips under the skin
In addition to the above-described disease, light rashes near the mouth may appear due to more serious problems. White dots on the upper lip under the skin often represent symptoms of infectious lesions, in particular, the herpes virus. Over time, they increase in size and become like bubbles filled with viscous exudate. After opening, such formations are covered with a dense brown crust.
Also, white spots or spots on the lips under the skin are due to the following factors:
- intoxication of the body;
- pathology of the digestive system;
- deficiency of microelements and vitamins in the body;
- Chloasma;
- stomatitis ;
- disturbances in the work of the gallbladder and liver, bile ducts;
- adrenal gland diseases;
- endocrine disorders;
- lipomas (adipose).
How to treat white specks on the lips under the skin?
To effectively get rid of the defect considered, you must first find out its exact cause. It is possible that after its elimination, the eruptions on the lips will disappear.
In modern cosmetology and dermatology, laser equipment is used to remove white subcutaneous points. Such treatment allows you to instantly solve the problem without scars, incisions, blemishes, scars and irritation. Laser therapy eliminates the risk of subsequent relapses.
Another painless method to combat the described eruptions is cryogenic exposure to liquid nitrogen. However, this method works slower than laser therapy, several dozen sessions are required to remove all specks.
As an alternative, you can try folk remedies for eliminating the rash, for example, lubricate the affected areas on the lips with such products:
- freshly squeezed aloe or calanchoe juice;
- melted mutton fat;
- crushed garlic;
- propolis oil;
- solution with a natural mummy.
It is worth noting that dermatologists are skeptical of all the listed products, noting their low efficiency, and recommend using only modern medical technologies.
