Hello doctor, I am a 24 year old male. I have small clear white bumps in the corner of the mouth. It is not hurting. Some are very small. They are more than 20 in number. I am currently taking vitamin D3 supplements and iron supplements.
Hello. I have reviewed your query and can well understand you are worried about the lesions (bumps) on the corner of your lips. There are many reasons behind this kind of lesions. It mostly is caused either by a deficiency of nutrients, dehydration, or a viral infection. The virus is named as herpes and it causes lesions on the lips. I know you are taking vitamins D3 and iron supplements. So, keep taking the medications until you get your levels to normal. If it is a herpes viral infection, it usually goes away on its own. No specific treatment is needed for that too. In worst case scenario, it can be cancer due to any reason. Mostly, smokers are the target of this type of serious disease. Smokeless tobacco (paan and gutkha) is also associated with cancerous lesions like this and other mouth cancers. This is prevalent in the region where you live. It is better to avoid any kind of tobacco addiction and also drinking alcohol. Hope it helps. Please keep a follow up for a better outcome in this case. If you feel there is something left unanswered or you need further assistance, please consult me back anytime. I would be happy to assist.
