tiny bumps on lips

[amesw]

I suddenly have developed tiny bumps on my upper lip.  A few months ago this happened in just one little patch but it went away, and I can't remember if I did anything.  But just a few days ago they appeared again on both sides of my upper lip.  Then, the next day they had spread and now go all the way along the ridge of my upper lip. They aren't particularly noticeable except they change the shape of my lip, making it look smaller than it was in the places where they are on the very edge.  They are very very tiny, definitely not cold sores.  I've seen some things about Forcyde spots, but everything describes those as 1-3mm in size and these are even smaller than that.   Everything I read says to ignore forcyde spots, but these are very uncomfortable.  my lips feel dry no matter how much stuff I put on them, and they feel scaly because of all the teeny tiny bumps.  I used to have problems with seborrheic dermatitis around my nose when I was a kid so the only other thing I can think of is that.  Is there something else they could be?  If they are forcyde spots, is there a way to make my lips feel moist again?  I don't care about the appearance, but they are very uncomfortable.

I was having this same problem, and was so freaked out because notning I was doing would help! I started putting Vaseline on my lips, and Neosporin on my outer lips where the bumps were. I did this about 2-3 times a day, and it made my lips feel so much better and cleared it up within a week! I hope this can help someone with the same problems!

OMG I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! my lips are dry they itch and the small bumps have spread to the skin above my lip! They're so irritated itch and dry but idk what to do! Everyone is saying it's either from mangos or eos, the day before it happens I ate a mango but idk if that's the problem! I keep putting lip balm on the make it feel better but idk what I should be doing!!

Wow I have the same problem! I have tiny bumps on my lips and its super dry and unconfortable. The bumps and irritation also extends to the corner of my lips. And even the roof of my mouth is dry and rough. I have no idea what it is.  I have been eating mangoes for the past few days. Could that be it? I love Mangoes! I hope not! I bite the skin off the Mangoe so maybe the skin had bacteria on it or pesticide? I have no clue. But I would love an answer. When the bumps first form Ive been treating it with tea tree oil and a carrier oil. It helps the bumps go away.But it still leaves my lips scaly and rough so I use neosporin and it clears up in a week or 2 at most. This has happened to me 2 times before this present incident .

I'm having the same bumps issue. Started a few days ago and I JUST started adding mango to my smoothies! Maybe it IS that!

Mango skins have a biological similarity to poison ivy, so if you have a heightened sensitivity to poison ivy, you're probably going to react to the mango skin. Fortunately, I've read that the fruit itself is safe as long as it's washed after peeling so you don't come into contact with the chemical.
I developed these little bumps after eating some mango slices and made the connection. I used have an extreme sensitivity to Poison Ivy as a child where I couldn't even walk past the stuff if there was a breeze or I'd get rashes. Thankfully, that's no longer the case, but the sensitivity is still there.
Ever since I first got them, they come back once or twice a year, even if I haven't touched a mango. I've narrowed it down to weather conditions, and certain spicy foods that may trigger reactions now.

I have 6 tiny little bumps on my upper lip too. They look like a little liquid are in them (kinda if you held a pen in your hand for too long, a little water bubble appears). I think it's cause I used a bad chapstick since it was fine this morning?? I'm usually really bad and pick my lips/skin, so I'm hands off it now. Gonna go wash with soap and use a different chapstick and hope it goes away soon.
