ill be first to get all available pictures through the whole process If and when I go, but theres so many people on here who pop up to say they've had it done, but never back it up with a detailed profile of pictures, I want to know how the dick looks when the area has actually healed following the first month/ how the experience was/size of scarring etc/ how the penis looks when flaccid etc
i'm getting a bit pissed about it to be honest, as it really is the only way to rid yourself of these bumps at the moment but nobody cares to return to the forum to help people out and give a better knowledge of recovery following palluas work, I know someone put a pic of an erect dick up over a year after surgery but that really is no use to anyone who hasn't even had the procedure done yet and wants to know the short term appearance of the treated area.
just had this back from a London aesthetics consultant regarding Fordyce spots, this is what they told me about this new treatment PLEXR
I have been in contact with our lesion removal expert Dr.Lingham and he has told me he is unable to do the micropunch procedure and isn’t aware of any other doctors in the area offering the service.
He did recommend a fairly new treatment to the market called PLEXR.
The Plexr method has many advantages over cosmetic surgery, which makes it an increasingly popular treatment method. There is no cutting of the skin, which means that there are no stitches required, and most people can return to work the same day. It is much quicker than surgery, as no injectable anaesthetic is required.
Plasma is a relatively new innovation in the industry. The extremely accurate instrument works by ionising the gas particles in the air between its tip and the skin, to form plasma. An electrical arc is created, which results in sublimation i.e. turns a solid straight into gas. Therefore, the results are instant, but also no heat is transferred to the surrounding area.
Plexr has been shown to be a safe treatment due to its non-invasive nature. Still the majority of patients are likely to experience some minor side effects in the 7 days following treatment.
There will be some brown marks that have the appearance of minor scabbing, which are carbon crusts, but after around 5 days, these will fall off, revealing new pink skin beneath. Some swelling will be seen, but it is likely to only last 3-5 days at most.
anyone had this done? or is it another poor method of treatment like the rest of the common treatments?
Alright, so after some wild nights of ± 5 hours sex sessions and a lot of masturbation i noticed sometimes i tear open the skin om my dick. So this happened again and I decided to get myself checked.
STD check is came out clean for everything.
This was in FEBRUARY. So that patch of skin keeps tearing up and a few weeks ago I went to my doctor and asked the woman to check out my pen0r. Shes like uhhhhh ok here's anti candida cream and looks away. (i thought my penis looks pretty great :'(. but anyways. Im trying this candida cream but to no effect but she told me; yo guy if u have the herps YOU WOULD HAVE FELT IT. but i dont feel s**t except a slight itch when it tears open again.
So I turned myself to google to find out what i got and ended up here on this great magnificent forum.
Here are the promised pictures. Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view. Penis semi erect (skin stretched) Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view. Penis flacid. Skin completely non stretched.
When looking closely you can see a short white patch of skin (4mm in length, 1 mm in width) with 3 white dots surrounding it.
Do you guys thinks its fordyce? Let me know what you think. If it's fordyce il just give it a weeks rest of masturbation and simply hope the skin will restore enough so it will not tear easily again when having crazy long sex or wild fap sessions.
The cream says you need to clean everything and put it on. So i tried to slightly scratch it off but the stuff is under my skin so I opend that s**t up again by accident. I cannot stress enough that there is no liquid in there and there is absolutely no blistering. Just stressed skin..
So I hope I have that too and can stop worrying Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view. and also stop using the candida cream, I dont like my dick to be all greasy always.
I despair when I look at my penis. I see guys here worrying about a handful of small spots.. but mine are huge. They completely cover my shaft and balls. They get inflamed all the time. The ooze chalky, smelly puss when I squeeze them. They leave scars after being inflamed. They have hairs growing out of them which I can't pluck because they in-grow.
Has any one in forum tried this cream.

These specific lines in this article look promising
'In 2006, Pock et al reported effective therapy, with no adverse effects, using pimecrolimus in 3 young female patients. [16] The response was deemed "very impressive." Based on this report, the drug of choice could be this class of drug, which includes tacrolimus. Tacrolimus was found to safe and effective in treating one of two patients. [17].
I am considering to give this medicine a shot. It looks like there is some scientific research in this case.
Hi, I'm 17 years old. I've never had sex so it's definitely not an std. But I was wondering if they could be something else (infection, etc.). I first noticed them several years ago. Are they fordyce spots?
Which one is better? Has anybody who has had the laser treatment done been happy with the results? I'm leaning towards going with the micro punch surgery in Germany with Dr. Paulla because it seems to produce the best results with the least chance of scarring but it is much more expensive and is also located in Germany which makes it very difficult to schedule.
Just to clarify I am talking about C02 laser treatment because that seems to be the most commonly offered laser treatment available.
Hi everyone. I've been a long time lurker on this (and other fordyce spots forums), but never really had anything to contribute before now. But the short version of this post is: I've been using something called Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel and it seems to be reducing my sebaceaous prominence!
Now for the long version: I'm in my mid thirties with a long term partner (who doesn't care about my SP) but even so I've always hated the appearance of it on my penis. I'd say it was about a 6-7, not as bad as some pics i've seen, but definitely very visible - all along the lower half of my shaft, especially underneath, and also on my scrotum. I've tried all kinds of things in the past that people have recommended but never seen any results, until ...
I was having a shower one morning, and saw my girlfriend (who is always trying out new cleaning/cleansing products) had left out this stuff called Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel. The gel is a bright blue colour, maybe that's what caught my eye, but i picked up the bottle and had a read of the back and immediately saw that on the description it said it contained something called monolaurin which "regulates excess sebum and mattifies your skin". I thought it couldn't hurt to give it a try.
Now, I don't know whether anyone else has this thing with their SP, but after i've had a long shower or bath, i've found that if i stretch the skin of my penis taut and sort of rake my fingers or nails in an upward motion, tiny white dots of the trapped sebum will sometimes come to the surface. I've always wanted to actually squeeze it out but never been able to - its just been painful and nothing much has really happened. That said, it's also made me think that if i could only find the right product to target it, hopefully some of it would get in and do some good.
Well, I finally think I've found that product! Don't worry, I promise I'm not a salesman for Avene or anything; I'm just happy to finally have found something that's made a difference ...
So i started incorporating the cleanance gel into my regular daily shower routine. I found I only needed a small squirt of it as it foams up quite a lot. What I've been doing is, after my regular wash with shower gel, I'll step out from the shower so the water doesn't wash the cleanance gel away, then I'll wipe a smallish dollop of the gel onto my shaft and scrotum, and then - while holding my penis upwards against my belly by the foreskin - just kind of spend as long as i can be bothered working the foam into the skin, sometimes using my fingernails to exfoliate, and always making sure i've really worked it into all the areas that are the most badly affected. I'll usually do this for a couple of minutes or so, then simply wash it off under the shower again and go about my day.
And - no s**t - after like two or three days I began to notice an improvement! Pretty quickly my SP actually looked like it was reducing somewhat and on top of that, my penis skin felt sort of thicker and silkier in a matte kind of way ever since. It's hard to describe, but i already felt a little more confident about that part of my body (which has always bugged me so much).
I'm writing this about a month or so since I started using the gel every morning in the shower, and while it's certainly no magic cure so far, I can say with confidence that my SP has gone down to like a 2 or 3. In some places it seems to have gone completely, in others it's like instead of a large white lump beneath the skin it's reduced to just a small white dot, kind of like a little whitehead. And there's even a couple of places on my shaft which now look like tiny craters, where I'm guessing the SP used to be.
But the best thing is that the overall appearance of my dick is so much better. I feel so much more confident. It's like the skin feels thicker, too, which helps cover it. In the mornings when I go to have a pee, maybe it's because there's more blood in it at that point, but I can hardly see the SP at all unless i stretch the skin. And my boner looks better too. I'm going to continue using the gel as part of my daily shower routine and feel hopeful that it might clear up even more. But even if it just stays like this, I'm already really pleased with the results.
A quick google of this stuff shows that it's kind of pricey (£8 or so here in the UK), but it's pretty easily available on the high street. I obviously can't vouch for it working for anyone else other than myself, but I thought I'd share my findings as I've spent so long checking this forum hoping to find some kind of cure, and I feel excited that I finally have something to contribute! Hence finally starting an account of my own.
Hopefully it might work for some of you guys the way its doing for me! Feel free to ask any more questions. And sorry but I don't have pics - feel a bit uncomfortable sharing photos of my dick on the internet!
Hello, I am 24 years old women. I haven't been to gyn because didn't have any problems. Actually I never had a real sexual relationships...this was the main reason why i didn't get to doctor... well, I feel healthy. My menstrual cycle always go normally, have no pain, no other bad conditions, however I have a visible sebaceous glands on my labia minora. These bumps appeared around my puberty and now i have a lot of it. I'm scared. Are these fordyce spots ?.Maybe it is a symptoms of Papiloma virus? Could you say something about it ? This is the link to see: http://fsdadfthetephotoshare.weebly.com.
I will go after two months to do a gyn check, finally. But i'm soo scared ...
hi everyone, so ive been to dusseldorf and had micropunch removal of my Fordyce spots on the penis shaft. There is a great lack of detail and information regarding this procedure and the experience as a whole, so I've decided to do a picture and detail heavy thread to show it all so you know what to expect.
me, I'm a guy, 23 years of age, Fordyce have made me extremely self conscious over the years and i had a particularly bad case (almost the entire bottom of my shaft and some on the top) which was horrible and unsightly, on what Norbert told me he had removed, its fair to approximate 500 spots.
THE CLINIC & SURGEON
so the clinic for this procedure is located at konigsallee 20 in the very heart of dusseldorf in Germany. it took me 7 hours to get there by train, however is it in a very good central location of Europe and easily accessible by car, bus, rail or plane with cheap hotel rooms within easy walking distance. When you reach konigsallee 20 (easy to find doorway between louis Vuitton and tiffany co shop) his clinic is on the top floor of the building up several flights of stairs. the clinic is very nice and airy with a spiral staircase which goes up to another room in the centre. First impressions of Norbert was that he is a fantastic and very humble bloke, I was quite nervous before going as anyone would be, but as soon as I met him i almost immediately felt at ease. There was almost no language barrier too and we both understood eachother very well, it's also worth mentioning Norbert has performed micropunch for Fordyce on over 300 different men.
MY DAY AT THE CLINIC
it was a wonderful experience i cannot stress this enough, i felt so at ease and relaxed the whole time that i wouldn't even of worried knowing the day would be like it was, and i genuinely look forward to returning for suture removal, 10/10! (if embarrassment or anxiety of getting this procedure done is a big deal for you then have no fear because there is nothing to be worried about whatsoever).
i arrived at the clinic at 10am and was welcomed by Norbert who was very calming and friendly, i sat in the waiting room for a little while he was on the phone. We then went into a room with a desk and a elongated chair, we went through the consent and various information about me which i signed. after this, i allowed Norbert to examine my Fordyce spots, then i stood up against the wall while he took numerous photos of the affected area. afterwards the area was shaved at which point i got an erection but mr pallua was happy about this because he could see the spots more clearly and took some additional photos, and as i mentioned above, i felt so at ease i was literally walking around the clinic with a hard on carefree haha
after this, to the operating room , i went into a smaller room to take my clothes off and change into a gown and slippers, before entering the operating room at 11am, where i met the nurse (she was about 40~ years old, she didn't speak any English but she was lovely and would speak through Norbert to ask me things). an IV line was put into my arm, a monitor on my finger, a blood pressure arm band and a green sheet across my torso, unknowingly the nurse had added the injection of twilight sedation, i am unaware of anything past this point until 1:30pm at which point i was awaken. Its fair to assume you need to be sedated until all the punch excisions had been done, and when i came around Norbert was inserting the sutures with the aide of the nurse. There was no pain whatsoever and i was fully conscious with my eyes closed relaxed, i remained like this for a further 2 hours while Norbert and the nurse continued to suture up the wounds, both of them occasionally asking me if i was okay and if i wanted to move at all to get comfy Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view..
the procedure reached completion at 3.30pm and lasted a total of 4 1/2 hours, norbert told me he removed 500 spots! while still on the operating table i was quickly shown how to do the dressings myself and was then allowed to put my clothes back on. Norbert just went through a few things with me and gave me the bandages and medications to take, i was commended for being a great patient, and off i went at 4:30pm
the following hours it was honestly pain free and my penis was bandaged up (i recommend at least wearing jeans to cover up the large bulge you have there that may look daft in thinner trousers Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.). the bandage became red in colour and wet in the following hours, i was a little worried it was blood but a quick WhatsApp message to Norbert confirmed this is what is expected (ill add pics of this) and is nothing more than harmless wound fluid, when i reached my stopover hotel i changed the dressing for a new one.
i was invited back to the clinic for change of dressing by Norbert the next day but i had already changed it myself on the night and was on my way back to the uk.
stuff I gathered of importance post surgery
- correctly dressing area daily
- no sex or masturbation until wounds heal (3 weeks +)
- no smoking during wound healing period (I went from 30 a day to 0 since surgery)
- suture removal 7-10 days after OP
Hello I am a female 19, and I recently discovered tiny white dots all on the inside of my lips and under and around my eyes. As I was trying to find out what they are I read that women who get fordyce spots on their lips usually get them on their vagina. I am horrified at how many dots there are, do I have fordyce spots? And is this an extreme version?!?! Any and all advice on how to get rid of them is much appreciated!!!! Also it cannot be an std I have never been sexually active. I have included a picture, do you think a partner would be horrified as well if they find them? Also am I some how doing something to cause this??? Thanks sorry this is so long
I have this condition, first on penis and later on lips. Im safe that this condition appear to me after a excesive diet of products with gluten as cookies and bread, specially manufactured that is more harmful.
So, another person think that this problem is origined by the gluten consumption?
Sorry for my english, my native language is spanish.
Okay so in the last few months Ive had a number of changes on my skin texture and have been so confused if it is a manner of puberty or an actual disease. (I just turned 21 mind you)
I have these spots on my foreskin and on my lips as well as some weird spots on my back and shoulders. The spots on the foreskin of my scrotum do not burn nor itch nor do they discharge or anything of the sort, but they do seem to be getting bigger and growing in other areas of my foreskin, I have some spots on my shaft as well but Ive had those as far as I can remember, they are in rows and are not very big, and they are not clumped up like the ones higher on my foreskin...
The spots on my lips are odd... I have them around the border of my lips and sometimes they even grow hairs on them...? Ive always had lip damage as far as I can remember and now I make sure to use lip balm everyday to avoid them drying out and chapping, one time I tried popping one and had some puss come out of it... after that it got smaller and thats about it. Also I have this antibiotic balm that ive tried applying and it makes no difference whatsoever to the appearance of my lips...
I also have these spots on my back, but for those I am attributing them to what I believe may be sun damage or something similar.
Dude I even have spots under my eyes.... honestly are fordyce spots more hormonal? Because I feel like I undergoing and all around breakout for the entire skin covering my body lol My pee doesnt burn or anything either, Ive read fordyce spots can occasionally itch when they are infected because of how the skin is and ive felt that a few time but rarely. Another thing, Ive been taking Vitamin C supplements and again, no change in how my skin reacts to a healthier immune system.
Anyways, I am so paranoid now and dont know what to believe these may be, because they have not consistent symptoms or anything and from everything Ive read and seen about fordyce spots, they are completely obviously that.... yet I still kinda freak myself out thinking they are herpes or warts even tho the symptoms dont match...
I would say I have photos but my camera broke on my phone lol but i have found images of fordyce spots that are almost identical to what I have (just different skin tone, cuz I am latino and have darker skin lol)
Yeah I know to just go to the doctor or something but Im thinking maybe I should just find a dermatologist around me and consult them but the problem is.... Im nervous to go and dont think I can afford even medication with my insurance lol
But id like some opinions from people who already have these kinds of problems and probably went through the same state of mind or worries...
Im looking forward to hear from you guys!

I'm new here. I'm 26 year old male from the Netherlands and started to develop fordyce spots on the lip two months back. Besides the way it looks it is also a really annoying feeling. My lips constantly feel dry and a bit irritated even when i apply lip balm or jojobo oil or whatever. Do you also have that? Any tips on how to do get rid of that feeling? The feeling makes me constantly aware of the fordyce and that doesn't help.
Hello guys, I have been dealing with Fordyce spots on my top lip for a long time now I didn't really notice it but I would say about 2012 it started to flare up, but when I went to see very old pictures of me like my senior year I always had them it just wasn't very visible at all I am now about to be 28 and they just started flaring up a lot the last few years and it's very embarrassing because for me a lot of them cluster up and they just look like one big white bump. At first I was like oh man is this herpes I went on Google and never had a cold sore blister or none of that on my lips and somehow I came up on Fordyce spots so I was relieved and I went to Dermatology Center in 2015 and they told me it was Fordyce spot so I felt a lot better but just like everybody was saying the lady was like oh it's normal it's okay here's some Aquaphor for your lips even though I was using that here in there along with Vaseline. So I finally decided to do something about it so I called the same daily Dermatology Center where I live in South Florida and asked if they have any treatments and first the lady said "what is that" so she came back on the phone a few mins later and said they don't really specialize in any treatments even tho it was a dermatology center. So they referred me to go to the University of Miami Hospital. So I got a check up about a month ago and the doctor decided to go to use the hyfrecator because he said it was the best and safest option for me and that the C02 laser can leave scarring especially if you have a more darker skin complexion I'm Spanish so I'm a little tan lol Plus way more expensive and I was always not so sure on it because I seen pictures before and after and wasn't feeling it. So he did a test spot on the corner of my lip with one tiny Fordyce spot and it's scabbed up I would say for about 3-4 days and came off but it was hard to tell if it was gone just because I had a lot surrounding it but it looks good to me so I just had an appointment two days ago and he went with the procedure and he zapped a lot of the spots on my top lip because I have a lot but its the ones that are clusters is what really bothers me. This is the second day now it's starting to scab up but I can feel the difference right away since they are oil glands and he zapped them I felt that my lips were not producing as much oil so it didn't feel chapped because before my lips would always feel chapped even though sometimes it wasnt. I'm a guy who likes to go out and you know talk to girls and just friends so this is hard for me and I was getting very bad anxiety which i never ever dealt with. Going to work was getting too much and I would never stay in the breakroom , mind you I work at an airport so I finally decided to do something and I'm glad I finally did. So maybe I will post some pictures you know it's very embarrassing but people don't lose hope because I was that same person trust me. I finally told my mom only a few months ago because I couldn't hold it in anymore and just needed to vent out and I felt so much better afterwards. I been growing out my mustache to cover my top lip and some ppl would say trim that lol I've realised some ppl would look at my lips like I see their eyes looking at my eyes then down to my lips it was so obvious to me. I became very antisocial stopped going out talking to girls. I've gotten way better with it the mustache really helps but it's ugly lol I lost a few thousand dollars in the past few months from not working as much as I have bills to pay but I had no choice, I hated going to work so when I did I only did a few hours. So I understand this was literally killing me I can't emphasize it anymore but it feels good to know I'm not the only one. But please stay strong cuz it can drain you mentally. Do things you enjoy, for me it was running. I would go out and jog and get my mind off that. I went to see a doctor who specializes in these skin conditions and man I wish I would of went years ago. The hyfrecator only cost me $120 and he zapped a lot of them. Now there scabbing up as I said so I'm just applying vasoline like he insisted and if I go out to apply sunscreen 30spf or higher but I haven't been outside. I stopped using cheap ass chapstick and been sticking to vasoline the past few yrs. I been wanting to write here for a long time I just always been reading the threads and made me feel better reading others ppls story. Sorry for the long post I couldn't help but write what I feel and to help other ppl suffering from this. Please ppl you can ask me any questions. Like I said my apt was on Halloween so I'm just being patient but I'm very optimistic and ppl just have faith like I had, I'm not religious I don't go to church but I talk to god in my own way and always kept faith with him and life in general so idk if that helps...I been taking pics everyday to see the transformation so I will post some in the future thank you for listening! I'm a male also lol
Just to say I've enjoyed my journey with you guys and now I've come to terms with it:-it's nothing serious and only an augmentation of our already beautiful skin and body and addition if you were and something to be proud of, if people don't like it, then it's fine...
So just wanted to say thanks and buy, the forum was a bit of a veritable grave yard with not very many users-so just look at it this way our skin has little Jewels
