I have the same thing. It's terrible. It's not AC. It's not mascara. I don't use cocaine. Please, if anyone can help, I'd be so grateful. I haven't had sex in 9 months.
Bro, I had the exact same condition in 2011. I was using iv cocaine(which I have cleaned up from for 6 months now!) I developed the same white thangys on my left side of my lips. Pick em out, they come back 2wice as bad...right?...well, this is a morgellons type reaction to using cocaine. The little white egg like things form in little dots all across the top lip in 'U' like shapes. I would pick them out with razors and the like as well. They go away when you stop using cocaine. I think that it's possible to see these things because the cocaine reacts with the morgellons pathogen and we can really see what is going on with our bodies. I had some zany stuff going on brother, if you want to talk, give me an email...***@**** hope you are doing better.
it can be on one or both.
this is no longer a std concern so it's probably best to post on a more appropriate forum. thanks!
Its also only on one corner of my mouth, cheilitis is usually on both sides? And another thing is cheilitis is supposed to be caused by an iron deficiency, there is no way i have an iron deficiency with the diet im on or have been on, id like to believe that but its not true
I said they can be adding to it. you have already irritated skin and exposing it to chemicals can just prolong it. make it worse.
ok thanks but my point is how can it be a reaction to the cosmetics if it was there well before i used them, i only used them to cover it up.
chemicals in cosmetics irritate the skin and can cause rashes/skin reactions.
I don't think you understand cheilitis dear. It will be chronic and it will show up out of the blue. no reason to think you have hpv on the corner of your mouth and many providers have confirmed this.
stop with the mascara? mascara didnt cause these so why, im using basic toothpaste. Its not just a coincidence that i got these straight after i slept with someone who had hpv, if its not hpv why are they tiny little bumps that i can get rid of that cause my body to react to them and make the area red all the time?
I dont put my hands near them, the only time i did was when i tied to get rid of them
:(
most likely this is not hpv going on. you've been seen multiple times and no one thought it was hpv and oral hpv that presents with obvious warts wouldn't appear there.
cheilitis was exactly what I was going to say this sounds like. did they treat you for yeast as a cause of it if it's not going away on its own?
stop with the mascara and any cover up too. you might even be reacting to the chemicals in those too.
also make sure you are using a basic toothpaste - nothing whitening, tartar control or cinnamon flavor. same with if you are using chap stick or anything, make sure it's unflavored.
last of all - LEAVE YOUR HANDS OFF OF THESE!!! All that poking and prodding and stuff just irritates it all more and keeps it from healing!!!
