Fordyce spots

by Eric1414, Oct 15, 2008 06:02PM
Hey, i have fordyce spots on my penis. they are not very distinct but there are alot of them so it is noticeable. There mostly around my base and the more distinct ones are on my testicles but there are a number of small bumps on my penis as well. I've read other websites and they say that if there small and not red, just small white bumps then they can be removed pretty easily.I was wondering how much it would cost to get the CO2 superpulsed laser surgery to remove them or if there are any other cures. I do not have them anywhere else except for my penis. Please give me any suggestions on a way to cure them.

Hello,

Fordyce spots are small,bright red or purple papules that can appear on the glans, shaft or scrotum and usually affect younger men.Treatment of Fordyce spots includes CO2 laser or electro desiccation, TCA chemical peels(temporary treatment),diathermy or laser vaporization.

Pls discuss these options with a dermatologist or a cosmetologist and find out which is the most cost effective and best technique for you.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted in case of additional queries.
