A member asked:
Would regular sunlight exposure or heat help fade sebaceous prominence (on the penis).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : Sebaceous glands tend to enlarge with regular ultraviolet light exposure. Also, the skin of the genital area is susceptible to sun damage and regular sun exposure may increase the risk of skin cancer. When we give uv treatments for various skin conditions, the genital area is carefully and completely covered.
