Tiny white pimple-like bumps on top lips08/26/2008 |
I have known this girl for a while and we finally hooked up. We kissed for a while and I started to give her oral sex. A short while my lips started to get a burning sensation and I stopped any further progression with her that night. When I got home I applied Vicks around my lips. When I woke up in the morning the top lip look like it was burned. After applying lip ointmnet from over the counter and days went by. I notice that I have tiny white pimple like bumps on the inside of my lip, where mt teeth are and outside of my upper lip for about a month now. I was hoping that they would have gone away by now. They do not hurt nor are irritated or turn into blisters. This area has always been smooth, but after this encounter I have these small tiny white pimple like bumps that you can notice when you get close to me. What do I have!? and how do I get rid of them so my lips look normal. I am scared please help!
First of all why haven't you gone to see your primary care physician?If you are concerned about a STD, you need the expert evaluation of a physician.
Most STDs don't produce occult signs and symptoms immediately; therefore my initial impression is the burning irritation on the lips that you described may be an allergic reaction to something on, around, or in the genital area.
You may be reacting to a topical spermicidal agent, or other female hygiene product.
Why did you put "Vicks" on your lips instead of washing with soap and water? By applying the lip balm you may be compounding the allergic reaction.
With respect to the "bumps" on your lips, without seeing you I can only speculate on what you are describing. These may only be minor salivary glands that you can readily see now as a result of mucosal ulceration, or they may be Fordyce granules (minor sebaceous glands). If you are concerned, you need to have them evaluated to rule out significant pathology.
