A member asked:

I have a lot of sebaceous oil glands on my penis and testicles is there anyway to reduce or get rid of them!? i never use to have any....

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can help but not cur: These are normal glands but can get plugged. The way to limit this is to keep the area as dry as possible and boxers to aerate. Some people are just more prone to them than others. Powder sometimes helps.
