There is something white near the lips

If there is something wrong with the body, the body will send out signals to tell people. Some people find white stuff around their lips. This may be sebaceous gland ectopic disease or leukoplakia. If you are worried, you can go to the hospital for examination. It is also very easy to determine what disease it is if you understand the symptoms of sebaceous gland lesions and leukoplakia. Below is an introduction to these two diseases, you can learn more about them.

There are small white particles on the upper and lower lips, which is considered to be caused by sebaceous gland ectopia. Generally speaking, no special treatment is required. You can supplement various vitamins in your daily life, take some multivitamin tablets, eat more fruits and vegetables, and pay attention to enhancing nutrition. If you feel that it affects your appearance, you can have a laser treatment.

This situation may be caused by diseases such as sebaceous cysts. From the description alone, it cannot be determined whether it is caused by lack of vitamins and calcium. You can go to the dermatology department for a check-up and receive treatment based on the condition. Laser treatment can be used. In addition, you can do some tests on trace elements to see if there are any abnormalities.

1. Sebaceous gland ectopic disease.

The white spots and granules on the lips are most likely due to sebaceous gland ectopia, which is a proliferative lesion occurring in the lips, oral mucosa and external genitalia due to physiological variations of the sebaceous glands.

1. Symptoms:

In addition to the symptoms of small white spots on the lips, papule symptoms will also appear in some private parts. They appear as needle-sized, isolated, yellow-white bumps that are higher than the skin surface. They are scattered or clustered, and generally have no subjective symptoms.

2. Treatment:

Sebaceous dysplasia does not cause any discomfort and therefore does not require treatment. If the patient insists on removing the lesion, carbon dioxide laser surgery can be used.

2. Mucosal leukoplakia.

The white spots and granules on the lips are likely to be leukoplakia, which are white patches occurring on the mucosa, but as a disease, it mainly refers to those leukoplakia characterized by hyperkeratosis and epithelial hyperplasia.

1. Symptoms:

This disease often occurs in the lower lip, gums, cheeks and tongue dorsum of the mouth, the vulva or vagina of women, and occasionally on the glans penis or both sides of the foreskin of men. In the early stage, it appears as small pale white dots or thin strips, without any subjective symptoms. After a few months, flat, raised, milky-skin-like patches of varying sizes appear on the mucosa, or merge into large patches. The surface is often shiny, and then gradually thickens and hardens, tightly adhering to the mucosa. Forceful scraping will cause bleeding. At this time, there will be itching and tenderness. After scratching, the affected area will become congested, swollen, and red. Minor trauma will cause bleeding. In severe cases, the affected area will have cracks or ulcers.

2. Treatment:

1) Anti-infection treatment.

When the leukoplakia is infected with a large amount of purulent secretions, antibiotics can be appropriately used for treatment, such as 2.5 grams of ampicillin added to 250 ml of 5% glucose saline for intravenous drip twice a day; 100 ml of 0.5% metronidazole for intravenous drip once a day. The two drugs can be used continuously for 5 to 6 days.

2) For external medication to treat leukoplakia of oral mucosa, Qingchuikousan can be applied externally.
