Hi. Does fordyce spots signaled stress and vitamin deficiency?
Hello, guest.
Fordyce spots are small, harmless, and painless raised bumps or spots that can appear on the skin. They are typically found on the lips, genitalia, and sometimes on the inner cheeks or other parts of the body. While the exact cause of Fordyce spots is not fully understood, they are believed to be a result of the overgrowth of sebaceous (oil) glands.
There is no direct evidence linking Fordyce spots to stress or vitamin deficiency. Fordyce spots are considered a normal anatomical variation rather than a medical condition. They are quite common and can appear in individuals of all ages and genders. These spots tend to be more noticeable in certain individuals due to variations in the size and prominence of the sebaceous glands.
Stress and vitamin deficiency can contribute to various skin issues, but there is no specific association between these factors and the development of Fordyce spots.
