 Posted: 07/28/06 - 14:42 Post subject: Big Bulgy Fordyce Spot on Scrotum ? |
  |
|
Hi,
Are fordyce spots on the scrotum normal too ?
I think I have one for some years now which is getting
bigger over time. It is about 3 mm or more in diameter now,
and looks very big and bulging.
It looks much like a fully ripe pimple filled with yellow pus.
I took a photo of it. Sorry about the quality, I used
a webcam. Here's the link. (Moderators, if I am not
allowed to post any links, please edit it.)

Can any kind of laser treatment by the dermatologist be
used to remove it ?
Thanks,
Tham |

Hi,
I have exactly the same thing as in your picture and have started to realy worry about it recentley.I noticed it about a year ago but assumed it would dissapear on its own,However it is still here and like you i think it is very slowly getting bigger but i cant be sure.I dont understand why its there or why its never either gone or spread.I have put off seeing a doctor about this for some time but think i am going to have to get an appointment.Would appriciate any advice on this in the meantime though if anyone has any,
thanks |

I called my dermatologist on Saturday and told
him about it. I remember I showed it to him last
year when it was smaller and he said it was quite
common in men.
I mentioned it was bigger now and he replied he could
use his laser to burn it off with some local anesthetic,
otherwise it shouldn't really cause any problems if I leave
it alone.
I also mailed this question to the-penis.com, and
they replied that fordyce spots on the scrotum
are quite normal in men, and the symptoms I described
sounded quite normal too.
Otherwise, it would be a good idea to have that appointment
with your dermatologist or urologist. |
