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.

I searched it. I had one i think like yours, quite big. i had it for about 5 months and was really curious. I accedently noticed the smaller ones if you squeezed them, a small amout of a white/yellowy stuff comes out, in a curly shape, then mushes if pressed. I then realised the bigger one might just be the same thing, so i did the same thing and a lot of puss came out. It went in about 2 days after that. It has been about a year since that and everything seems normal. I still have the same small things. But theses are common and totally harmless.

I wouldn't advise you do what i did, but it might just be the case.

Cheers

I have had the same problem, i have the smaller ones though. I couldn't help but squeeze them and i noticed that they pop like a zit! Quite interesting, but very disgusting. This is normal according to my doctor though; my doctor said not to squeeze them anymore.

This is the best thing to do. I showed mine to a doctor he gave me antibiotics, he said leave them alone.. and because i thought i knew best i squesed the bigger ones. Ever since that day no problem with them at all. all praise my nails! :)

I have been able to get rid of Fordyce Spots by using Jojoba oil on the affected areas after showering every day. Results take a week or two.

I had about 7 of these on my testicles and 3 were about the size of a pea, they were there for about 3 years and i tried squeezing them but nothing .. this year i got very self concious about them and was to embarresd to go to the doctors.. but i got a pin and pierced them .. and like a cottage cheese type substance come out of them .. really thick and p***y .. its was very painfull and discusting, but they have cleared up since and this was only last week .. i pierced the smallest one today and the same thing, im just glad they have gone now .. but it was horrible!
