Dotted white Lips : Vitiligo phobia

"Doctor , look at my lips , are they turning white?" This young lady was worried about white spot disease developing on her lips.

"No,its not , what you are thinking about.These are abnormal glands which are giving a pinpoint white appearance. Its not Vitiligo" we assured after examining her lips.

"So what doctor ? They are looking white and even if its not white spot disease but everyone would think so.Please do something" she was not happy with my assurance.

"But these are glands,its the structure of your skin,how can they just go away with medicines?" We always try to satisfy people with less or no medicine no surgery principle.

"All doctors say so, every one says its nothing.But i cant live with these spots doctor .Please do something." She was desperate.

And then we did CO2 Laser Ablation With local anaesthesia. It took an hour of very fine touching of each and every gland with magnification. Lips were turned a little red .

After one week she happily came with all normal lips . Execpt one or two dots still left and she wanted to undergo same procedure again .
