Fordyce Spots and Nystatin

Hey all,

So after reading Crustylips' post the other day, I found some old (but still good) Nystatin ointment that I was given by the first dermatologist I saw. I decided to use it the past 2 nights just for the hell of it.

When I had full blown EC, I never had Fordyce spots but since my condition has cleared a bit, I have noticed some Fordyce spots on my lips. And after using Nystatin ointment on my lips the past few nights, some of the spots have turned red and have started burning. But the Fordyce spots as a whole seem to have gotten smaller.

I looked it up briefly online and there seems to be some correlation between the two, some saying that Nystatin + steroid has helped get rid of their spots.

Just wondering if anyone know anything about how Nystatin affects Fordyce spots.

Thanks and keep your heads up Tweet
