Fordyce's spots

[Tadgh]

Hey guys, I'm just back from the doctors. As my parents are away on holidays I decided to get the courage to go visit the doctor for my problem.

My problem is little white spots on my penis. The doctor said these are called Fordyce's spots. I honestly thought I had a STD! After asking her a few questions like are they infectious etc.

What she really said was, No they're not infectious and they're just roots for hairs growing. She asked me have I shaved before and I told her I have and she said that's why I get them so..

Does anyone else suffer from these?

She was telling me about some acne cream you can get but there is a few side affects such as hair loss and itchy skin. I don't want to suffer from any of these so I think I'm just going to let it be as it's not a health problem.

I have them, but Im not "suffering from it;)

[HelloWorld123456]

yeah i did. dw theyll soon go away =)

[chrisisthename]

i have them on my scrotum but not on my penis, i figures they were from hair because they were on the skin where hair grew. But thanks for telling us what they really are!

I have them as well... I wouldn't really worry much; since it's not threatening or hurting you, you may as well leave it. Don't fix what isn't broken!

I have these and have always been worried about them but now i know not to be :)

Information about Fordyce's spots has been in one of the announcements in this forum for about 3 years.

Many, many men have these. I wouldn't call it "suffering from these" because really they're no big deal. It's just a natural part of the skin.

I have them too, before i was worried because i didnt know what they were, but now im relieved

[Tadgh]

I'm glad I could have helped some people.
