They grow on the area between the skin and lip. They are barely noticeable but they hurt a lot. They turn white with pus after 2 days and then they go away. I dont think these are cold sores since they look just like pimples and they're very small. I'm thinking it's something I've been eating lately. Recently, I've been putting a lot of mustard in my salads. Also I've been eating those Guilt Free ice cream sandwiches, but not that many. I also started drinking those Jack Daniel's Country Cocktails, so maybe its the alcohol but I dont know. In addition I stopped taking my multi-vitamins. Anyone else has experienced this before? How did you cure it? IP: Logged

It's probably totally normal and nothing to worry about. I don't think your foods would cause them as long as you were washing your face every morning and night. IP: Logged

I never use lip balm or anything like that, so I dont think I have the same problem as you. I'm beginning to think it might be the sunlight, since I've done a little bit of walking on campus lately.

acneman Senior Member Posts: 86 From:none Registered: Aug 2002	posted 07-13-2003 06:45 PM I started using Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar a couple of weeks ago. Maybe my lips are reacting bad to it. I used Cetaphil Cleansing Bar before and didnt have any problems. Any ideas anyone? IP: Logged

T-zone Senior Member Posts: 133 From:UK Registered: Jul 2003	posted 08-07-2003 06:40 PM pimples/spots around the lip area are different to cold sores in a few ways, Cold sores feel sore, spots will probably not hurt. Cold sores are caused by a virus that penetrates the skin, spots are a bacterial infection growing in trapped sebum. Cold sores last longer and are infectious, spots will go quicker and are not infectious. Cold sores will not develop a white head. IP: Logged
