Ok more detail, these little spots are tinny like pencil dot small it started when I was away in Thailand I cut myself shaving (a tinny nick) this has never healed completely it is incredibly small (I had to point out to my doctor).
Anyway a few days after my cut about four tinny white spots appeared, I freaked a little. When I went home my doctor said it was Fordyce spots and that I always had them… I went to a clinic and had battery of std tests three weeks after I returned home, all negative.
The white spots have continued to spread, to the corner of my mouth (looking like dry skin) when it fact its hundred of this spots. I returned and saw a different doctor he says it is likely a bacterial infection.
He prescribed me ‘Fucidin H Ointment’ I applied it once over night (in the morning to my horror the spots had spread to my lower lip)… my lips have not swollen or red just covered in white dots.
Anyone have any ideas what this could be?
Could this be a fungal thing

No, they are not fungal and they are not an STD. They are nothing to worry about. Fordyce spots are simply sebacious glands that have become noticeable. What causes them to be noticeable is unknown but they are quite common. There is no treatment because they are harmless and since they are normal body parts, nothing gets rid of them. If you are female, you can hide them easily with lipstick. By the way, these are also extremely common in men on their penis (in case you are male).

I think it may be Thrush. A bacteria that babies sometimes get inside their mouths. I know you can get thrush other places. Thats about all I know about it. Good luck.
