There are many white spots on the lips

People will suffer from various diseases in their life, some are big and some are small. Some of these small diseases may become serious if not paid attention to. Today let’s talk about the many white spots on the lips. Some people sometimes develop white spots on their lips. They are not very obvious and do not hurt or itch. You may not pay attention to them at the time, but they are a symptom of a disease. If you find them, you should seek early diagnosis and treatment. But why do white spots appear on lips? Is there any treatment for this condition? Let’s take a look together.

reason:

1 White spots on the lips are a disease caused by physiological variations of the sebaceous glands. They often occur on people's lips, mouths or external genitalia. If you find the above symptoms, you should go to a regular hospital for examination in time to determine the cause and condition, and then carry out targeted treatment.

2. It may be leukoplakia. Leukoplakia are white patches occurring on the mucosa, but as a disease, it mainly refers to those leukoplakia characterized by hyperkeratosis and epithelial hyperplasia. For example, vitiligo can also occur on the mucosa, but its histological changes are mainly depigmentation, and generally there is no manifestation such as hyperkeratosis, so it does not belong to mucosal leukoplakia. Leukoplakia in dermatology includes lesions in the oral cavity and vulva. In the past, many medical scientists regarded leukoplakia as precancerous lesions, but a large number of observations and studies have proved that most leukoplakia are benign lesions.

White spots on lips and hand, foot and mouth disease:

The symptoms of small white spots on the lips occur in children. The first thing to consider is whether the white spots on the lips are caused by hand, foot and mouth disease. Especially for children under five years old, small white spots may appear on their lips at the same time as symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease.

Children with hand, foot and mouth disease will not only have small white spots on their lips, but will also develop herpes on their hands, feet, mouth and other parts of their body. In addition, there are some other features, but they are not obvious. Therefore, if the small white spots on the lips appear at the same time as hand, foot and mouth herpes, hand, foot and mouth disease should be treated.
