A member asked:
Are angiokeratomas of fordyce related to herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No!: The pathophysiology of angiokeratomas remains unknown, although increased venous pressure may contribute to their formation. Also a case report recommends considering fabry disease in all male patients with angiokeratomas, even if localized to the scrotum.
