They annoy the hell out of me as well. I think there may be a link to them as well because my EC come on at the same time as the spots. Apparently you can actually take a needle and squeeze them out wihout scarring the lip. I did a couple and there was a little red mark for a couple of days but then they healed OK.

There are occasions when I think my EC could be almost like an Acne type problem. Here's some information on acne:

"The increased production of sebum makes the openings of the sebaceous glands narrower, which prevents the sebum from getting out. Meanwhile, the sebum production continues regardless.

Pimples are often caused by Propionebacterium acnes, a common bacterium on the skin that feeds on sebum. This bacterium produces waste products and fatty acids that irritate the sebaceous glands and make them inflamed."

Could these Fordyce's spots actually be sebum that's blocking the gland, causing the inflammation which means the skin doesn't heal? My Lactoferrin moisturiser (Which has been the most beneficial I've used) was actually designed for Acne. Have a read of this:

I also think the skin on the lips may have improved slightly when I was taking Lactoferrin supplements.
