Question 1

lots of fordyce spots on penis shaft right up to the head. also lots of hair follicles in some of them. do i consult my doctor about treatment for it?

Accepted Answer

Not necessary ...: Fordyce spots are ectopic sebaceous glands, which are not related with hair follicles.  Normally, every hair follicle has its own sebaceous gland to go with it but invisible; however, some may be hyperactive so to grow their size bigger becoming visible like pimples. Usually, no care for them is needed as long as they don't hurt you and not mentally bother you. So, it's not practically necessary..

Question 3

what is the treatment for fordyce spot.

Accepted Answer

None: There is no treatment for Fordyce granules or spots of the oral cavity.  They are a normal occurrence, of no consequence and do not require treatment.

Question 4

i had fordyce spot on lips and it itches, is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: There are many things that could cause the skin to itch.  Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin.  Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

Question 5

i popped a fordyce spot on my lip and it has become infected. what home remedies can help get rid of the infection.

Accepted Answer

Infected?: Depends what you mean by infected. If major pain and lip swelling, see an oral surgeon ASAP. If merely inflamed, should heal rapidly with OTC meds, Orajel, saline rinse.
If getting worse, see oral surgeon ASAP.

Question 6

i have a painless white bubble on my upper lip tubercle. it seems to sometimes enlarge and shrink, not sure what causes it. does not go away and it blends with my skin. there is no cluster of bumps or pain. could this be herpes or a fordyce spot?

Accepted Answer

: Herpes is not possible, based on this description. No herpes lesion ever lasts more than a week or two. Maybe Fordyce spot, small cyst, fibroma, or something else. You'll need to see someone in person, or consider HealthTap's concierge service, in which case a dermatologist may be able to examine a posted photo. In the meantime, for sure don't worry about herpes.

Question 7

i have a recurring blister in the same spot on my lower lip. cold sore treatments arent working. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Need exam to answer: You will need to be seen when the "blister" is present to get an accurate DX.
Could be recurrent Herpes--in which case antiviral meds would be Rxed

Question 8

fordyce spots on lips. when become really chapped, i get a whitehead directly on my lip. inflamed fordyce spot? when popped, it goes away. little sore

Accepted Answer

Oral Fordyce spots: The importance of recognising these papules as Fordyce spots is in the differential diagnosis as some sexually transmitted diseases may start off looking like Fordyce spots.Fordyce spots are generally harmless and do not require any treatment. Avoid picking or squeezing the spots. Electrosurgery and vaporising laser treatment (CO2 laser) have been used along with bichloracetic acid, photodynamic therapy, micro-punch excision surgery

Question 9

found out i have fordyce spot on the side of my lips and eye lids is it the sign of having a std/hiv?

Accepted Answer

No: These are sebacious cysts and can occur anywhere but especially where the glands are more superficial.

Question 10

i have a red spot after having a cold sore on my lip. what is the best treatment to help the scar go away? mederma?

Accepted Answer

Depends on where...: Hi there, to adequately answer your question I would need a couple more pieces of information.  (1) where exactly is the red spot?  By that I mean is it on the red smooth "inner" part of the lip or is it on skin on the "outer" part of the lip?  (2) how long ago did the cold sore go away?  Mederma can work if it is on the outside, but not inside the lip.
