If the spots persist for several weeks, recur regularly, or are accompanied by unusual symptoms such as fever or swollen lymph nodes, consult a dermatologist. A quick examination is usually enough to identify the exact cause—and to prescribe the right treatment, whether it's a simple soothing cream or appropriate medical treatment.
To prevent recurrences, a few simple steps are all it takes: keep the area clean and dry, don't share lip care products, choose gentle products suitable for sensitive skin, and wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
Your skin is speaking to you — learn to listen to it with kindness and without dramatizing.
