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.

What type of skin disorder has red bumps that itch and look like pimples?
Short and simple...eczema. The truth about this skin disorder is that it is caused by the same gland that produces cancer. And while it's busy producing eczema, you can almost rest assured it's not producing cancer. That's something to think about.
AnswerIt might be something caused by a bacteria. If large and small in number (1, 2) it might go away with responsible exposure to sun or medication prescibed by a dermatologist. if many and rather small (1/2cm to 1 1/2cm), it might be some fungus taken from moist and dirty places.What could cause red somewhat painful bumps on the labia after your period?
The bumps may come from irritation from using pads. Sort of like diaper rash. It could just be a small rash or some boils, caused by moisture, pressure and rubbing against the skin. I usually try to limit my pad usage, since it sometimes can irritate my skin, and I prefer tampons. If this isn't the cause, I'd suggest calling a doctor or gynocologist. This could also be a skin disoder. These painful lumps can appear in your underarm area, thighs, groin and other areas without any particular cause. I was prescribed medicine used to treat skin bacteria. It's not contagious, but it can be quite uncomfortable. Your diagnosis may also be sabeceuos or follicle cysts. I have been reading a bit about it because I have a very similar problem. I'm praying I do not carry the incurable HSV virus. If I do, I wouldn't feel bad for myself but for others I have infected.

How can you tell if a rash is an allergic reaction?
Allergies are the result of your body "fighting off" what it mistakenly believes are harmful chemicals. In a normal result, your antibody cells destroy viruses and bacteria which invade your body and could harm you. In an allergic reaction, a harmless substance - usually something you eat or something you touch - sets off the same reaction from your antibodies. This causes an easily-recognized set of symptoms in pretty-much everybody. I have put them in order based on how dangerous they can be. * Sneezing and watering eyes * Itching (either all over the body or just on the area contacted) * Redness and a bumpy rash (hives or wheals are what you call the bumps) * Swelling of the throat and mouth * Difficulty breathing Each allergic reaction may produce one or more symptoms. Some people sneeze and itch whenever they get near an animal. Some people are fine with animals, but get an itchy rash if they eat strawberries. The first three symptoms can easily be treated with over-the-counter allergy medication like diphenhydramine (Benadryl is one brand name for this) - these kinds of allergies are seldom dangerous, and usually disappear once you take the medicine. If you should have ANY trouble with wheezing, feeling as if your throat is closing up, or swelling in the mouth area - go to the nearest emergency room and tell them you are having an allergic reaction with these symptoms. These are symptoms of a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis (an-uh-fil-AX-iss). Anaphylasis must be treated by a doctor as soon as possible, because it can cause you to stop breathing and die. This is the reaction that you hear about most commonly in people who are allergic to beestings. The bee venom is actually injected into the body instead of being contacted like the less severe allergies, so it can cause death within minutes! Some people get anaphylaxis after eating certain foods. The best way to treat any allergy is to take diphenhydramine as soon as you notice any discomfort. However, if you have the severe kind of reaction, don't waste time finding a drug store - go straight to the E.R.

Can one have an allergic reaction to Jasmine Tea?
Yes it can cause upset stomach in some people. It's to do with the Caffeine and tannin in the tea. Try drinking redbush tea (Tetley).
The above reactions to substances in tea, such as caffeine and tannin, are more correctly called sensitivities, as they are exuberant physiologic reactions to these chemicals. Caffeine stimulates several important pathways within the body, particularly the adrenaline-type pathways, which can lead to tremors, fast heart rate and heart palpitations (though generally not life-threatening), as well as nausea, if overconsumed by anyone. In lesser amounts, caffeine can overstimulate sensitive individuals. Tannin, as an acid, can cause GI upset directly.
Allergies are immune system reactions, hence different from sensitivities, that can be manifested in several ways due to the different parts of the system, and can sometimes be life-threatening. The body can develop allergies upon first exposure, or after using a substance safely for years. Larger chemicals tend to incite allergies more easily than small ones. Caffeine and tannin are smaller, so reactions are not common, but possible. As a complex chemical mixture derived from plant leaves, any tea is certainly capable of containing many potential allergens, in addition to caffeine and tannin.
Food allergies can be as simple as an itchy throat after intake, or life-threatening, such as swelling of the face and throat blocking the airway (as seen with shrimp). Skin reactions, such as a widely distributed rash, appearing after a day or so, or wheal and flare reactions within hours, are sometimes seen, but are not common. The most common type of reactions based on food allergy are diarrhea and vague abdominal pain.
If persistent, these can also be signs of immune disease independent of a simple tea or food allergy. See a doctor.
A true caffeine allergy would cause a reaction after any caffeine source was consumed, such as coffee and soda. Different teas contain different mixes of chemical, as well as additives for taste, so one could experiment with different brands and types if one appears to be either sensitive or allergic, though if the latter seems likely, one would need to exercise great care before re-exposure.
Heat rash is not contagious, actually. Heat rash is caused by friction and sweating, so if it's hot and humid, you have a chance of getting heat rash in your armpits, between your legs, and on your butt.
