I just read this site and it made me think, HAS ANYONE TAKEN A BIOPSY WITH THE FORDYCE SPOT???
Acne is a caused by a bacteria that accutane kills.
DURING ACCUTANR TREATMENT:
Bacteria normally lives in sebum, so as a natural result of the decreased level of sebum the bacteria level is also reduced.
we have these sebum glands in our lips, so they must have bacteria in them, which could be why our skin sheds similar to how Acne does.

Does everyone here have fordyce spots?? or just a few people?? please check properly.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,585,845I have Fordyce spots. Bad. They became noticeable in the last 2 yrs but I've had severely irritated/peeling lips for around 5 or so. I think they popped up after I stopped using Aquaphor/moisturizers, started Protopic at night, and let my lips get ridiculously dry during the day. However, I strongly believe that taking Accutane about 8 yrs ago caused this whole mess. I had never needed to use chapstick before in my life until the Accutane. Then my lips became gradually worse over the years after I stopped treatment.

This is a reply to # 1,586,300I was on Accutane many years before my EC started. Although for years afterwards I would use Vaseline many times a day. At the time I got my EC I was taking loads of supplements which I believe triggered this condition. Someone on here reported taking almost the same list of supplements and when they posted pictures on here their lips looked almost identical to mine.
My fordyce's spots started at EXACTLY the same time as my EC and I'm convinced there is a link. Fordyce's Spots are to do with the sebaceous glands. Sebum is the thing which keeps skin water-proof and elastic.
THERE HAS TO BE A LINK!
Keep the unity in the peeling lip community.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,586,699Yo Juno,
Tell us again exactly where your spots are located and what color they are. Both lips, vermillion border, any inside your cheeks, etc.?
This study showed 95% of 2462 people in the study had fordyce spots, with 80% having them on the vermillion border of the upper lip:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3461911?dopt=Abstract
It could be purely coincidental.
Got the study from an abstract at the bottom of http://www.histopathology-india.net/FoSp.htm
It says also under differential diagnosis (meaning very similar but must be ruled out): "Sebaceous hyperplasia (enlarged sebaceous glands with numerous lobules around a centrally located wide duct)"

This is a reply to # 1,587,034My Fordyce's spots are across the vermillion border (the peeling area) and just above on my upper lip. My bottom lip (which doesn't peel) doesn't have any. They're also clustered at the side of my mouth where the upper and lower lips meet. They're not really noticeable unless I stretch the skin out so I don't worry about them; apart from the obvious fact that I think they are directly connected to my EC...
The supplements that I took are listed here:
http://www.acne.org/messageboard/Nutritional-support-surg-t67916.html
Roaccutane sent me absolutely mental for a couple of years. I was obsessed with the marks that Acne had left me. These marks are so minor that when I went to a consultant to discuss them she couldn't even see them! I started taking these to help with the marks if I had some kind of laser surgery. I didn't because the consultant said that they were so minor that they were barely visible and it wasn't worth the risk!Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,587,329Took most of em yeah. Think there were a couple I couldn't get hold of. I was absolutely mental after Roaccutane for a year or two. Thankfully those effects are now long gone.
The Fordyce's Spots and the peeling started exactly the same time. I remember the first time I peeled the squares at the bottom-centre of my top lip and there were loads of Fordyce's Spots there.
These definately weren't there before. I was obsessed with my appearance and would have noticed them.
