The most common cause of white spots on the upper lip is referred to as "Frodyce's Condition" after the Doctor Who described them. They are sebaceous (oil) glands that actually cover the entire face, but you can't see them against the background of the skin. However, against the pink lips they stand out enough to be seen. They are nothing to worry about BUT it would be wise to see a dermatologist to verify this diagnosis.

If you mean when you get a red line right about your lips, it usually means you have dry skin. When you lips are dry like in the winter time, you try and lick them to help, but that only makes it worse. Your wet tongue, will only temporarily make them feel better, but when the water dries up it is only worse. When you lick your lips you also lick the skin right about your lips, and the same thing happens: it is wet and then when it dries, the cold air makes it sting, and it gets irritated and red.

Instead of lickin your lips, carry lip balm or chapstick with you and apply that to your lips daily.

  • I use AQUAPHOR adavanced therapy. It works really good for dry lips!

To get rid of redness above the lip, apply a cold rag. You can also visit the doctor if the redness is caused by a rash.
