Hello,

Fordyce's spots are small, painless, raised, pale or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the shaft of the penis as well as the inner surface and vermilion border of the lips of the face. The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland, and are not known to be associated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic concern only.

These spots are harmless and if you want them removed due to cosmetic reasons, Vaporising laser treatments such as CO2 laser or electro desiccation have been used.

Pls consult a dermatologist and discuss the above modes of treatment with him.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.
