Question 1

I have tiny bumps on my upper lip. you can barely see them but i feel them. they also itch sometimes. i use vaseline. what do i do to get rid of them?

Accepted Answer

It depends how long, hard/ soft, fluid or pus?  I get impression these have been there a bit, i wonder if poss. You r referring to milia.  They are tiny, firm little bumps (similar to the bumps many people call baby acne). They can be itchy ; annoying but not true problem medically.  If they bother uur docs can help. Do not try to "pop" milia.  They have a hard core that must be removed.
