A member asked:
If i kept my lips dry n don't apply chapstick..by doing that i think there won't b excess oil... will fordyce spots fade away??

Here are some ...: Fordyce's spots are ectopic sebaceous glands beneath the skin, which are not hair follicle-related and not affected by applying anything on the lips but obscuring their appearance. Of course, these spots will persist forever. More? Seek pro-evaluation & counseling timely. Best wishes...
