I suppose they can also be found in the mamilla area. 45 years ago a dermatologist wanted to take a biopsy, because he didnĀ“t know anything about Fordyce spots. I got off really quick… Now at age 66 they havenĀ“t changed in any way since my youth and they never bothered me. Nice to find an explanation now as an old woman š¤£
We need a mascara and latisse update. Gorgeous.
You can do a search, dr dray mascara, for videos from the past few months. As for latisse, it still contains prostaglandins and Dr Dray and other derms tend to not recommend products with them.
This young doctor is so knowledgeable, but imparts her knowledge in such a calm way. She anticipates all the questions we may have and answers them in such a straightforward manner. Excellent presentation, thank you Dr Dray.
So wild how this comes up just when I noticed many on my upper lip today. I never seen these on people.
They only really show up on the inside of my lip, like where my lips meet, so you may not see them on other people!
i get them only when i drink from the same water bottle for about 3 days and dont replace/clean the bottle.
ā@@mufferducker822 these arent something that come and go, you get them and they are there for life, nothing to do with hygiene
Good Afternoon Dr Dray ā¤
This video was very informative :). Could we see perhaps a future video, could we learn about tips on how to take care of piercings on the ear and body?
Very helpful! I have some and never knew what they were or what causes them
Hi Dr. Dray, fun personal fact: my fordyce spots on my upper and lower lip disappeared after a few months of accutane (30mg) š
Another interesting topic! I’ve never heard of this. I’ve said it a million times, you’re always teaching me something new, Dr Dray. Happy Thursday!! I hope you have a relaxing evening. š
Happy Thursday Dr Drayā¦see you tomorrow xšš¤©
Yeah, we tend to look at ourselves too closely and see things that other people usually donāt, so education is key! Thank you, dr. Dray, as always! š
Thank you for clarifying this! I got them on my upper lip when I was 18, and I used to think my then-boyfriend gave me them… I was trying to pop them or treat them with herpes meds, which obviously did not help. I am 46 now and they have kind of disappeared, maybe because my hormones are in order unlike they were when I was 18 and struggling with polycystic ovaries, and I am on top with my skincare because I am better educated, thanks to you Dr. Dray and other reliable creators.
