Is it safe to use benza clin for fordyce spots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here's my thought...: Fordyce spots are merely ectopic sebaceous glands and require no active treatment so it's unnecessary to use topical dis-infective agent like BenzaClin (clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide) because it would not help if DX is correct.
