How to Get Rid of Fordyce Spots at Home Quickly | 9 Home Remedies for Fordyce Spots on Lips

Fordyce spots are small whitish-yellow bumps that appear on the edge of your lips or the inside of your cheeks.

Fordyce spots or Fordyce granules are named after John Addison Fordyce, the American dermatologist that discover it. This condition is actually common: it affects about 70 to 80 percent of the population at some point in their lives.
One of the main causes for Fordyce spots happens to be bacterial growth in the hair follicles on the skin.
This usually occurs when the skin’s sebum gets trapped inside the sebaceous gland beneath the hair follicles.
Here are 9 home remedies that will help you get rid of those annoying Fordyce spots effectively at home.
1. Vitamins
Taking plenty of vitamins daily helps in treating Fordyce spots. You daily diet should include several vitamins including vitamins D, E, A, K, C and B. These vitamins will help you treat spots and other health conditions as well. Sources of vitamins include fruits, vegetables, cod liver oil, whole grain cereals and fish.
2. Essential oils
Essential oils are widely used to treat various conditions and diseases including Fordyce spots on lips. The best essential oil to use is jojoba oil, which prevents the development of Fordyce spots. By applying it to your upper lip three times a day, it is highly unlikely that you will develop Fordyce spots on lips.
You can also use frankincense, olive, tea tree, pine and galbanum oils.
3. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is one the most effective remedies to Fordyce spots. Applying apple cider vinegar directly on the spots will give you a painful and burning sensation. So add just two teaspoons of this vinegar to a glass of water. Apply the solution to the affected area.
4. Garlic
Garlic is an excellent home remedy for Fordyce spots because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Take a teaspoonful of garlic every morning and then take a glass of water. Alternatively, you can take one glassful of garlic juice at night before sleeping. You can add garlic to your daily diet for better results.
5. Coconut Oil
Fordyce spots can appear on your upper lip because of dehydration. Coconut is a natural moisturizer that is effective in removing the spots. You can apply coconut oil directly on the affected area or combine it with other essential oils. Use can also use olive oil as an alternative to coconut oil.
6. Asparagus
Asparagus is essential to normal growth of body cells. It has the highest concentration of folic acid, which is required for cell production.

Who doesn’t know about the healing powers of turmeric? Considered as one of the best remedies for all kinds of scratches, cuts, wound and infections on the skin, turmeric can be used in several ways to treat conditions like Fordyce spots.
The best way is to Mix one tablespoon of turmeric powder with water to form a thick paste.
Apply this paste on the lips and the other areas of the body where the spots are visible.
Wait for 30 minutes or so before washing off the paste with lukewarm water. Do this once every day for a week.
9. Honey
Slathering some honey on those tiny white spots on the lips can remove them effectively. The potent antiseptic properties of honey can help remove the bacteria from beneath the hair follicles while its soothing properties can help heal the skin effectively.

I just use apple cider vinegar with a q-tip, I apply 4-5 times a day. Started noticing it work in one day, I’m on my 3rd day and I notice that it’s shrinking. Will come back once it’s gone and comment again. I just rub it back and forth with the q tip while applying this with ACV.

When my herpes started interfering with my daily life. And my lips always bother me every damn day. I remember going to the hospital when I was around 25 years old cuz my whole lips were burning like hell. And a nurse came to the waiting lobby and said sorry there are no doctors here. So I had to go back home. My lips were burning like hell and I felt so uncomfortable that night so I turned to #doctorasa herbal…

What works best so far is to dip your lips in listerine total care (purple bottle) for a good 10 to 20 minutes before bed. Make sure to do a whole bunch of lip movements so that you feel that little burn. When you feel that burn sensation those spots are being burned. Do not apply on lips, you have to dip and maintain your lips in the liquid for the time being while making lip movements. Make sure to hydrate your lips right after. This will flatten the spots but will not stop the body from creating more. No one has discovered how to stop them from generating yet. I believe we will come up with a solution for this without the help of the medical field since they are not trying to help

What the fuck is with all these bots in the commends and their herpes?

[jenniferaaliyah]

I started treating mine with apple cider vinegar and it’s been working! But I haven’t been using any sort of lip product. Is it okay to put on chapstick after washing the apple cider vinegar off? Does using chapstick cause the fordyce spots to develop?

[srrbuf]

CO2 laser. Nothing else will touch the problem.
