Hi all. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Angiokeratoma of Fordyce. I don’t know much about it and don’t know the possible treatments. My doc was even mentioning some sort of surgery, which really scared me. Does anybody here know any good treatment for it?? Which one would you recommend?? Thanks

I think that the best treatment you can choose is treatment with the argon laser.The benefits of the argon laser in treatment include permanent eradication of the lesions and alleviation of the symptoms of pruritus and episodic bleeding. This method of treatment is safe, does not produce iatrogenic malignant neoplasms, is noninvasive, and is accomplished as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort or disability. So, I would certainly recommend it. Good luck.S

I've had this treatment twice, it zaps the black spots and they scab up and heal in about a week or two, I use polysporin to speed up the process. Your scrotum looks great for a little while, but they come back, faint at first, then darker and darker. Forever. The treatment costs $200 for 15 mins, enough to zap all of them. I have to do this treatment every couple months until I'm married or whatever, I hate my scrotum. I'm young and single and it kills my self esteem.

yes i have been diagnosed with this from my doctor. it's on my scrotum. mostly on the left side has been there for aleast 10 years im 35 now. i don't like it wish it was gone. but it could be worse it could be an std. its not thank God!
im going with no surgery im don't beleive my case is bad enough or bothers me enough to have them only to come back down the road. it's a temp fix, a "patch" but won't last so i would think it over see if it's really worth it .. of coarse unless your case is severe because i have seen some pic's on the internet & belive me if i had it as bad as i have seen, i would be loking for some help quick. hope this helps.

I found 7 on my scrotum, and read to use anti fungal cream on them. I put athletes foot cream on them at night and they shrunk to half size the next morning. I put more on the next night and they disappeared. Think it's caused from sweating down there

Putting duct tape on it seems to work. I feel bad for those people who have been putting a paperclip on the end of a 400oC soldering iron to remove them.
