See dermatology.: Fordyce spots are normal, so there is no medical reason to get rid of them. If you feel they look bad, or just "really hate them", then it would be a cosmetic problem, that insurance would be unlikely to pay for. In any case, see a dermatologist who might help reassure you that they are fine, or might help you remove them, using surgery, chemicals, laser, freezing, etc.
