Difference between fordyce's spots and genital warts? they're on semi-exposed area of foreskin, just noticed. had hpv 4 yrs ago, doesn't look the same
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Look: Fordyce spots are pearlescent lesions, not "warty" at all. You obviously know what warts look like; if they are pearlescent papules, they are likely Fordyce spots.
