White patch on upper lip (Photo)

Since 2015 I’ve had this white, painless patch on my upper lip. My dermatologist at the time said it was either folliculitis or fordyce spots, but it never went away like those conditions do. I went to the dentist six months ago who didn’t say anything about it, but I also didn’t bring it up.

Now for the last week my upper lip in that area has frequently been pulsating, twitching and weirdly moving a little bit on its own. I did quit drinking alcohol heavily a week ago so maybe it’s part of withdrawals? My eye has also been twitching, but not as much as this. Thanks.

    If your dentist didn't say anything then you don't have anything to worry about. Even though they didn't notice it as you say but they would have as that is their job. They are even better than doctors when it comes to problems in the mouth. Although i have to admit it's kinda hard to see. But if it's bothering you just keep persisting with doctors.
