A member asked:

I get brazilian waxes every 4 weeks so i get ingrowns. what startles me is my "fordyce spots" in the "middle". how do i get rid of them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fordyce spots: Fordyce spots are completely normal large oil glands. They can be treated by some destructive modality such as freezing or burning but there is no reason to do so and they almost always grow back over time
