: Yes, Fordyce spots are benign findings on lips, penis, scrotum or labia. By healthline website: "The Fordyce spots, also called Fordyce granules or Fordyce glands, are enlarged oil glands. They are completely normal, harmless, and painless. According to a 2015 case report published in Clinical Case Reports and Reviews journal, they occur in 70 to 80 percent of adults".

Question 4

i have a boil on my buttocks when i first saw it i thought it was just a pimple so i popped it now its a lump under my skin with a head puss and blood?

Small abscess: It may have been a small hair follicle infection that has now expanded after your initial manipulation. A warm compress may draw it out over a day or two but it may expand &amp; need to be drained by your doc.

Question 5

what could be a tiny, very itchy and burning spot on the scalp in the back of the head? it feels like a pimple. i currently have a boil on buttocks and afraid of spreading. what to do to heal?

Accepted Answer

: There are several possible causes of a tiny, very itchy and burning spot on the scalp. One possibility is folliculitis, which is an inflammation of the hair follicles caused by bacteria or fungi. This condition can cause small, red bumps or white-headed pimples that can be itchy and painful. Another possibility is seborrheic dermatitis. Wash your hands carefully dont share towels.

Question 6

how to make my inner labia pimple come to a head faster?

Accepted Answer

Warm compresses: often help draw out infection and contents of pimples...but, are you sure it is a pimple?  It could be a blocked gland or a bartholin's cyst.  These are better dealt with by your GYN.  Whatever you do, don't squeeze it!  Good luck!

Question 7

i want i make the pimple on inner labia come to a head faster? it is confirmed it is not an std. how can i make this pimple come to a head fast?

Accepted Answer

Warm compress: Warm moist compresses should help this resolve faster and provide some pain relief.  Resist the urge to squeeze or poke it, as this could cause infection.

Question 8

i have a bump like a hard small ball form on my inner labia. it has now formed a white head like a pimple. it is sore to the touch but wasn't at first?

Accepted Answer

Bartholin cyst: It could be a Bartholin cyst or more likely an abscess. You need to see your doctor as it might need to be drained and you may need antibiotics

Question 9

not sexually active. red painful lump on left labia minora. no whit head visible but hurts like a pimple. is it really serious or can i home-cure it?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like a...: Pimple or infected inclusion cyst (benign.) i would treat it with warm compresses just like you would a pimple and see if it comes to a head. If it doesn't improve in a day or so or worsens, you should see your doctor.

Question 10

what causes inflammation in the fordyce spots on the labia majora? i've noticed a couple that are painful and look like small pimples with a "head" already showing?

Accepted Answer

: While Fordyce spots on the penis can become irritated during sex,I'm unsure if this also applies to those on the labia. A dermatologist is the specialist who deals with treating symptomatic ones. Don't pop or scrape them as that doesn't get rid of them and they may become infected.  Abstain from intercourse while they're symptomatic.
