Does clotrimazole cure fordyce spots on my penis shaft and under my fore skin?

Fordyce Spots: Vaporising laser treatments such as co2 laser or electro desiccation have been used with some success in diminishing the appearance of this condition of Fordyce spots if they are of cosmetic concern, despite the fact that most doctors consider this a normal physiological phenomenon and advise against treatment.

No: Fordyce spots are enlarged oil glands & a completely normal part of anatomy. They are bumps found on edge of lips, inside cheek (whitish/yellow), or on labia or penis/ scrotum (red color) that are usually 1 to 3 mm in diameter. They don’t require treatment.
