Fordyce Spots - #17050

Over the last few months, I’ve noticed small, pale bumps on my lips and around my mouth. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as time went on, I became more self-conscious about them. They’re painless and don’t cause any irritation, but they’re quite visible, especially when I smile or talk. After looking it up online, I discovered that these bumps are called Fordyce spots, which are actually sebaceous glands that are visible under the skin. From what I read, they’re harmless and quite common, but I can’t shake off the feeling that they make me look a little less polished, and I’m unsure whether there’s something I can do to reduce their appearance. The spots don’t bother me physically, but they do make me feel insecure about my appearance, particularly when I’m around other people or in close-up photos. I’ve tried researching ways to get rid of them or at least make them less noticeable, but most of the treatments I found seem to involve things like laser therapy or chemical treatments, which I’d prefer to avoid. I’m really looking for a natural or holistic solution, something gentle that would work in the long term. I’ve read about using coconut oil, tea tree oil, and even lemon juice as potential remedies for Fordyce spots, but I’m not sure if these are effective or if they could cause any adverse reactions. Since I’m also learning more about Ayurveda and natural remedies, I wondered if there’s something in Ayurvedic practices that could help reduce the visibility of Fordyce spots. I know that Ayurveda focuses a lot on balancing the body and mind, and I’ve heard that certain oils and herbs might help with skin conditions. I’m curious about using Ayurvedic treatments like neem, turmeric, or even sesame oil to improve skin health, but I’m not sure if these would help with the spots I’m dealing with. I’m also wondering if there are any dietary or lifestyle changes I should consider. I’ve heard that the appearance of Fordyce spots could be related to hormone levels or skin health, and I’d love to know if Ayurveda has any recommendations for balancing hormones or improving skin elasticity and texture. Has anyone had any success with treating Fordyce spots naturally? What methods or treatments did you try, and did you find any Ayurvedic remedies that worked?
