Fordyce Spots: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment | Fordyce Spots on lips | Fordyce Granules
Fordyce spots are small, harmless, raised sebaceous glands that commonly appear on the genitalia, lips, and inner cheeks. These flesh-colored or slightly yellowish bumps, ranging from 1 to 3 millimeters in diameter, are often associated with overactive sebaceous glands not linked to hair follicles. While generally painless and benign, Fordyce spots can be a cosmetic concern for some individuals. Genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, and age are contributing factors. Treatment options include topical retinoids, laser therapy, cryotherapy, and electrosurgery, though many cases may not require intervention. Consultation with a healthcare professional or dermatologist is recommended for a proper evaluation and guidance on management, especially if discomfort or cosmetic concerns arise.
