I'm a 17 year old guy and I've just been to the doctor's for my Fordyce spots which I've had for a little over 4 years. I know they're completely harmless, but they look awful and are quite noticeable, so I'm mostly worried about girls. I've been prescribed Fucidin cream: does anyone have experience with that? How long did it take to work? Or am I just going to be disgusting girls for the rest of my life?
View 1 RepliesI have flesh coloured bumps on the shaft of my penis i haven't been sexually active so i have read that it's rare that they are genital warts but i'm still scared, i am hoping that they are just fordyce spots ...
View 2 RepliesWell Im a male and Im 16 and not sexually active. I have these a bunch of white spots at the base of my shaft and like two mid shaft. and they are all over my scrotum. When they are popped, a white pus type stuff comes out (like popping a whitehead on your face or nose or whatever) I don't pop them, but i did when i first noticed it when I was about 13 years old. I've looked around and the closest thing i can come to is that it's fordyce spots? I really don't want to go to a doctor as this is pretty embarrassing even though its their jobs and all but yeah. Btw when i was taking accutane for my acne they sorta went away? Idk i cant remember clearly but i think i saw less of them but i don't remember. I'm off accutane now but yeah.
View 1 RepliesI have a weird cluster of bumps on my penis. I have always had this and never thought much about it, but i just want to be sure. I researched a bit about it and it looks like fordyce spots. I want to know what is exactly is and why it has appeared. Is there a way to show you what it looks like?
View 1 RepliesI have FS before 7-8 years and i am 17years old. I don't like to see this...i need some treatment..
View 1 RepliesI am a 21 year old male. About three days ago i noticed one of the fordyce spots on the shaft of my penis was a little larger than the rest, so i decided to try and pop it...after i squeezed it it turned red and has been irritated ever since..i little white discharge came out but no bleeding...it is still red and looks a lot like a white head now....should i be worried or is it just a little irritated from me messing with it too much?
View 14 RepliesCan anyone who's been in a relationship tell me whether or not they think they developed fordyce spots (on their genitals or lips) shortly after having contact with another person who has it, or who had it before the relationship and the person they're with developed it after the relationship began. I know doctors say its not contagious/infectious but I want to try and make absolutely sure before I get into a relationship, especially after reading a post by a person who noticed the spots shortly after dating someone who had them.
View 1 Repliestazorac .1 gel would be a safe and effective topical treatment to many fordyce spots on the shaft of a penis?
View 1 RepliesSo i've had these spots on my penis for as long as i remember and they really destroy my self confidence, i'm 20 years old and never had a sexual partner mainly because of this, did fool around with one person but they only touched it with their hand, any insight would be great..
Its mainly the ones around the base of my penis that bothers me/ When i spread the skin out they're like mini spots all together.
I've had Fordyce spots since a very early age and it seems to be getting progressively worse is there anything anyone can tell me about my condition. Is it going to get better or worse

View 2 RepliesSo, I know these are completely normal I guys, I am a 19 year old male with them on my scrotum. They used to be small, until I tried to get rid of one and it got irritated and got bigger. Now it's a huge one under my skin. I have passed up a lot of sexual experiences because of this one bump. It is pretty noticeable. How can I get rid of this? I try to use tweezers to rip the hard oily stuff off my scrotum but it is attached very well.
View 1 RepliesI am currently 13 years old and I have these small white bumps on my scrotum and shaft of my penis I don't want to tell my dad or mom anything because I get very embarrassed about stuff like this because I'm sorta a runt and I have enough problems but I don't really know what they are I am willing to send a picture of what they look like if I have to it, but I don't really know what they are and if they are normal.

View 1 RepliesHi, I have a 7 years old daughter who had been suffering with Mollescum Contagiosum for 18 months. Over that time I have searched the net trying to find a cure but to no avail. (I did try the Apple Cider Vinegar) HOWEVER, I contracted the virus on my toe and thought I would try and use Fucidin H cream (an anti fungal cream my son had been prescribed previously for a sore toe) and it cleared the Mollescum C up in a week. I wanted to try this on my daughter as she had many spots on her arm and chest area. I first went to my GP to ask to be referred to a dermatologist but was told that she could only be referred after having the condition for three years! I then told him about the success I had about using the Fucidin H and was it safe to try on my daughter. He said it was perfectly safe but had not heard that is had been used in treating Mollescum Contagiosum. I then went on to apply the cream to my daughter twice a day and after 3 weeks all the spots completely went and nothing has reappeared over the last month! It has made her life so much better and I hope this treatment gives relief to other sufferers of this condition.
View 1 Replieseverytime i get a cold and blow my nose a lot it leads to impetigo just as a i get rid of the cold.
i always get it inside my nostril or just below my nostrils.
my doctor prescribed me fucidin cream which seems to do the trick after about 5/6 days.
Is there a permanent cure as i get it about twice a year whenever i have a cold
would multivitamins help build my immune system so i get less colds or impetigo
also when i'm half way through my cold would it be best to use my impetigo cream before i get the impetigo to stop it early ?
Will accutane clear fordyce/sebaceous prominence, how much and fur how long should I take accutane for my chronic fordyce condition?

View 1 RepliesI'm a male, 25 years of age, who has braces, so I chronically get some ulcers in my mouth due to the braces and drinking and such. This past week I drank an abundant amount of alcohol. I also smoked some dabs (very concentrated form of marijuana) which I normally never do. During the week I drank out of multiple random beverages that people had drank out of. I also kissed a girl/ she gave me oral sex, which happened about 2 days ago. I messaged the girl asking if she had ever come into contact with any STD's. She said no. I have an ulcer or two in my mouth and on my tongue that I chalked up to heavily drinking and the braces (figure I may have bit my tongue being so drunk). They looked fairly normal compared to any other ulcers I had received in the past and began healing as usual. I noticed some small white bumps or spots (because they aren't really bumpy) on the upper part of my lips and in the corner of my mouth (still on my lips). When I do research on the bumps they closely resemble the pictures I see for Fordyce Spots. They don't really resemble the pictures for oral herpes. They aren't posing any problems of pain either. I was heavily exposed to the sun this week (almost everyday) and didn't really possess the best hygiene. I went to the doctor today and he really wasn't much help because he didn't even really look at my lips. Just asked if I had been sexually active, I told him yes and what happened. Then he automatically assumed it was probably herpes and prescribed me some meds. Then said to come back in two weeks and get tested. I plan on getting tested this week and then again in two weeks as well, but I'm not sure if it's Herpes or the Fordyce Spots or just me being paranoid. Or if it could be something caused by smoking the marijuana and heavily drinking. I also don't know if it's an allergic reaction of some type. But I'm freaking out.
View 1 RepliesI have acne and have just started accutane course (two weeks in). I also have fordyce spots on penis before treatment, fairly little and i could live with it. I read online many people think accutane gets rid of them and they do short term unitl you stop the drug but when they come back they come back 10 times worse. I really don't want this to be the case, and am seriously thinking stopping the course coz i dont want my penis covered when before I had them but could live with it just about.
