INDICATION

Fordyce spots look like white pimples and are found mainly in the area of male genitals, especially in the area of the penile body (thus, they are well visible) and scrotum. They look like small bumps of white color, but are usually harmless if not inflamed or do not cause itching. Serious psychological problems can occur, first of all, in men. Despite these bumps are not contagious, they can be mistook for the signs of sexually transmitted diseases, and this fact can severely affect the sex life of these men. This is a serious problem, mainly because its importance is underestimated. Moreover, this problem can often be missed by physicians, mostly by dermatologists or family doctors. Many conceal about it because of shame. At first, most of people tries to “squeeze out” the sebum. Unfortunately, it is useless, because it appears quickly again, because the gland is not removed. Scars may appear over time. Any creams are absolutely useless, because they do not eliminate the intrinsic cause. As the treatment options, laser treatment, acid application, and dermabrasion have been used, but their efficacy is low and usually short-lived, and in the worst case cen be associated with the scarring.
