Based on the search results, here are the details about whiteheads on lips:
-
Ingredients or materials: Some lip products like lipstick, lip gloss, or lip balm can cause whiteheads on lips. Some skin creams and lip balms can contain highly comedogenic, pore-clogging ingredients like coconut oil, which can cause breakouts. Therefore, it is important to choose non-comedogenic lip products that do not contain pore-clogging oils or dyes.
-
Positive: A whitehead pimple on your lips may be easily extractable. If you use a warm compress and it doesn’t take much to push them up, that’s fine.
-
Negative: A lip pimple may take up to two weeks to completely heal. Most lip pimples don’t require being seen by a healthcare provider. But if you’re continually dealing with lip pimples or have one that keeps growing or stays the same size, you may want to talk to a professional. You might need an oral antibiotic.

Prevention: To prevent whiteheads on lips, it is important to avoid irritating foods, stress, and sweat. Choose an acne-friendly product that soothes and softens lips. Curology’s lip balm is non-comedogenic—perfect if you want to keep your lips soft and hydrated without risking a breakout. When buying skin products, sunscreens, and cosmetics, look for those that say “non-comedogenic” or are water-based, as it won’t clog your pores and make your acne worse.
