ARollOfTheFordyce...: Quote:"Vaporising laser treatments such as CO2 laser or electro desiccation have been used with some success in diminishing the appearance of this condition if they are of cosmetic concern despite the fact that most doctors consider this a normal physiological phenomenon and advise against treatment" --I'd leave them alone. They usually don't get bigger or hurt or itch, etc.
