I have had them for about 2 years... am 16 now, and they are as worse as ever... I am not too bothered, although it does cause slight embarrassment, nobody knows i have them, as when i get an errection you cannot see them unless from underneath so its hard to see them from the top... So it was ok in intercourse
i think this is what i have as well.... this is gonna sound weird but do u guys occasionally get a zit somewhere on your scrotum? thats what scares me the most! i have had sex with girls who both were virgins and condoms were used, but this started happening before that. also, what causes these bumps???
I had them when i was younger, it never scared me cause i knew i hadnt done anything to contract them from anywhere. They go away after a while.
ok... so treatment is not necessary, therefore there is no treatment?? WELL FIND A TREATMENT, you **** scientists cant find a cure for the damn common cold, the least u can do its find a TREATMENT for THIS.
yeah got them when i was 12.5 and im now 15.5 so its been three years they haven't really gone away actually they're kinda multiplicating. hope they go away by the end of puperty :-(
:$ :$ :$ :$
please help me I am 15 and am not sexualy active but I have this almost like pimples on my penis and scrotum and they are extremely embarrising and I need to get rid of them!!!! please >:( >:(
omg..i just found out i have these tonight i have been wondering what they were...omg im so glad its not somthing life threatening..and thank you guys for your information..this may seem silly but this wont stop me from joining the military would it?"
OMG yeah i Have them and i'm fourteen and i was freaked out about them until i read this, FEW i hope they dissapear.
My whole life was complete misery. I have been treated like Sh*** for no reason by my parents, people, backstabbed by "friends" and now i got this bull*** fodyce spots. Ive had them since i was 14 now turning 19 in march im going insane over this. all i want in life is a girl to love and care for, seing now how freaking ugly these bastards are i dont even dare to date a girl, i just think it would be too awkward to actually explain "oh these are just fordyce spots, little OIL glands filled with SWEAT and FAT, nothing to worry about" , like seriously F***K that!!! I have like 2 chicks who are "dying" to date me but i have to pretend im gay or something because i guess i just dont have the guts to be able to go through that stage where i will have to explain what the hell is on my penis.
now im 100% sure that these are fordyce bastards, and seriously im ready to freaking cut my skin off my penis because i hate them so much.
Now, living alone, having nothing but a job, leading the most pathetic way of life. no motivation to do anything... >;)

-2.5% benzoyl peroxide
-CO2 lazer treatement
-squeezing them out with a needle
these are the only results i found for removing them but apparently even that usually doesnt get rid of these.
i have had this conidtion since puberty, and for 10 years ive been freaked out by it, doctors couldnt help. i was terrified that a girl would freak out due to it.
NOPE!
my gf has no issues with it, she is more experience than i am, and hasnt batted an eyelid to it.
i will say that this website has massivly eased my issues about it. all i can say to peopel that read this is, chill!
its hard and im still working on it, but there is nothing you can do, nothing wrong with you. relax, and enjoy life.
How fast did they appear??
I went to the doctor before for a burst blood vessel on myself. Now i had one big (half the size of a dime) and 2 or 3 little ones on my scrotum. Only noticed them this morning. I have not been sexually active in over 6 months.
Would this fit the description?
I first noticed I had these spots when I was about 15, I went to the doctor at 16 when I got my first steady girlfriend. He just told me not to worry and that they were sweat glands. BIG HELP - when you are a kid you just worry so much that your mates will find out. Anyhow I dumped the girl and moved on - then a few years later I fell head over heals again and he was stunning - but I was too scared to sleep with her in case she found out - eventually she dumped me.

I then had a string of one night stands and a few relationships, none lasting more than a few months until I finally got married in my late twenties.

I am now in my late thirties !!! and I still have them. I only actually found out what they were called yesterday ! When I was a teenager over twenty years ago there was no Web to look it up on.

Believe me you kids should consider yourselves very lucky to be able to find a place where you can discuss this sort of thing.

So I would say you will pretty much have them for life and there is very little you can do. None of the girls I ever went with were bothered and my wife has never even mentioned them. However I can really relate to the fear and absolute misery they cause in your younger years.

So guys try not to worry - they pretty much ruined my teens and early twenties but looking back now I was really worrying about nothing.

I know this is not the advice you want to hear but you may as well accept you are going to have to live with this, so just try to ignore them, accept that they are quite common and get on with your lives.
Please people, stop worrying! They are nothing to be concerned about, they are harmless, they really aren't that noticeable unless you are looking closely and, as a plus, they can actually make sex more pleasurable for the women (it's like having a ribbed condom on all the time!! :O)

I have had these spots now for as long as i can remember. I never really thought anything of it as i didn't really know any different. I thought it was perfectly normal until watching some porn recently i noticed that noone else seemed to have the problem. I've just looked it up and having had these small spots for probably 12 years or more, found out it is a named condition! They cover the entire underside of my penis and all of my scrotum (where they are particularly apparent.) I have had several girlfriends and sexual partners and am now engaged to be married next year. Not once has anyone ever noticed it or mentioned it. It really is one of those things that will only become an issue if you make it one. Stop worrying about it, and get out there and have some fun!

Frankly, if a girl is that put off you cos of some tiny spots they probably aren't worth bothering with anyway. I can guarantee though, she will only even notice if you say anything!
mine aren't purple or red, they are very small and white dots all over the bottom of my shaft and my scrotum, once in a blue moon one gets big and red and leaks small amounts of blood, i'm nervous and thinking it may be something else, i've had it since i was 17, i am 24 now and too terrified to go to the doctor, please someone help and tell me this is fordyce's and not something more terrible, it's made me depressed and miserable to whole time, nearly ruining my life
this thread has defooo helped me out!

ive had this problem for the past couple of years and have hoenestly been sh**ting my pants! i went to see a docter recently (tellin every1 that it was to do with my hearing due to embarresment) n he was no help! he didnt do no checks or anything, he just advised me to go to a special sti clinic!
it was hard enough goin to see him n talk about it, neva mind going the otha side of town to see somebody.

im 17 anyway n have had a few reltionships other the past years, intercorse was neva really a big problem i jus made sure a condom was used n prayed the girl didnt see these spots
lol

but the fort about the girl noticing n thinking i was a freak was still at the back of my mind. anyway, after reading these posts my mind is at rest! :-D


i just think that this problem shud be made more publicly! for nearly every post ive read so far, nobody had any idea wht these spots were until they saw this site!
allover the world people are gona be shittin there pants not knowing wht to do!
