I'm not obsessed with them. I just don't think it's a coincidence that my EC came on at the same time as them and that loads of people on here have them as well.
I've actually popped a few of them using a pin and they're very similar to a spot.
"There are various causes of Acne including microbial activity, weak immune system and accumulation of free radicals. Propionibacteria found within skin infect hair follicles and sebaceous glands. The inflammation due to infection narrows the hair follicles restricting the sebum to discharge from the skin. Infection, weak immune system and accumulation of free radicals (toxins) stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum."
I think there maybe a similarity between the two in my case. Infection + Inflammation restricting sebum from getting to the outer layer of the lip...
