fordyce spots???

[auussie0011]

I have some spots that look to me like fordyce spots when i googled them. They dont look anything like any of the std bumps that ive looked at pictures of. However, mine feel a little bit irritated/somewhat burn. I went to the doctor and got a pap test and she never mentioned anything about them and said everything looked normal. However i got diagnosed with gonorrhea, thanks to a cheating boyfriend. I took the medication for it and she said i was better but im paranoid still since im noticing these bumps now and since i still feel a litte burning. I never really looked enough to notice these bumps before so for all I know they could have been there the whole time.

Fordyce's spots[1] are small, painless, raised, pale, red or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the scrotum, shaft of the penis or on the labia, as well as the inner surface (retromolar mucosa) and vermilion border of the lips of the face. They are common in men and women of all ages. They are named after an American dermatologist, John Addison Fordyce.[2] On the head of the penis, they are called Tyson's glands,[3] not to be confused with Hirsuties papillaris genitalis.[4]


The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland: normally, sebaceous glands are only found in association with a hair follicle. They are not known to be associated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic concern only. They aren't infectious and are a natural occurrence on the body. Men sometimes consult with a dermatologist because they are worried they may have a sexually transmitted disease (especially genital warts) or some form of cancer, but this is not the case.[5]

Bumps. rashes and things like that can be so many things, it is impossible for us to even give you an indication as to what they are. Make a follow up appointment with your Dr and point them out to her/him and see what the opinion is.
