I am a 15 year old female and I recently noticed about 2 days ago that i had what seem to be fordyce spots in my inner genital area. I have never noticed these before. I need help! Is there any way i can get rid of them?? I am currently on minocycline, i don't know if that helps as to why i have them
View 1 RepliesI have recently discovered scaley feeling small red bumps on my perineum. They can only really be seen when the skin is stretched. They do not itch or hurt, however if i scratch them they bleed. I am really worried that they may be a std! Or could they be Fordyce spots?
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 what seems to be a rash around my bikini line. It is making my skin uneven and itchy down there. I am getting open sores down there as well. I am not sure how I got this. I haven't been sexually active in over 4 months and this just started occurring maybe for a week now. It started with just an it here and there but it has gotten so much worse. When it first started, I was putting neosporin on the rash but it just got worse. Now I am putting African Shea butter on it and it stops the itching. I really need to know what it is or at least try to treat it.
View 1 RepliesI been having this reaction since summer and I don't know what to do.

I need help urgent. anything that can help me get rid of them quickly?
View 1 RepliesThis is something I remember having as long as I've been paying attention to my vagina. But, I'm not sure if it's normal that just above the vaginal hole (inside my labia), instead of going in, my vulva (I think that's what it's called) goes out and there are tiny rough lump things.
I have ignored it until now because I assumed that it was normal. It isn't very noticeable or discolored or itchy - but if i rub it or touch it too much it is ever so slightly sore (but that could just be because the vagina is sensitive?).
Also, very occasionally I experience a very faint, not painful burning-type sensation when I pee but I always assume it is because I haven't had a shower in a while and it usually goes after I wash.
Oh, and I get a lot of discharge, too. I think this is normal because it isn't a weird color or anything but it comes out in a big lump sometimes if I haven't gone to the loo to wipe it off in a while. I wear black underwear and it appears white on top of that.
I really don't want to go to the doctor unless completely necessary, but could someone please let me know if I'm going to have to see a doctor or if it is normal? By the way, I'm a complete virgin and haven't ever had any kind of oral, penetration, or anything else, sex. But, I have masturbated.
I 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'm 13 and I have these spot on the inside of my foreskin and on my scrotum and quite a few on the scrotum have pubic hair growing out of them I'm worried because although I've seen on her there okay and nothing to worry about all the people who have said they have them said they got them when they were 15
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 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.
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 1 RepliesHas someone found a topical cream that actually works? I went to see my doctor today who didn't even have a clue what Fordyce spots/SP was. when I filled him in he refused to prescribe me Tretinoin! Anyone know where I can buy this in the UK? Also would love to hear about any home remedies people have tried RECENTLY. I've been taking vitamins everyday and eat sh*t loads of garlic now but it still seems to be getting worse. Or maybe I just think it' getting worse being paranoid about it. Would it be worth me going to see a dermatologist? Would there be anything they could prescribe? I really wouldn't feel comfortable stabbing holes in my lips and squeezing these things out + there are to many my whole top lip is covered!
View 2 RepliesI'm 17 and I was just looking in the mirror at my lips, because they had been really badly chapped two weeks before. I bought some kind of chap stick, and it worked really well... no more chapped lips. However I noticed today that I now have little white bumps on my upper lip. I've never noticed them before, and I was wondering if you could get these bumps from using too much chapstick perhaps.
