Long time lurker, first time poster
Ever since I was 14, Fordyce Spots bothered me more than anything. In the course of the following decade I've tried pretty much all the treatments available online.
First and foremost, I want everyone to know that 99% of those treatments do little to nothing and rarely actually provide significant improvements. Most of the "claims of success" made are done by cancerous little cunts that are selling the same product on the market.
Jojoba oil, lip balm, coconut oil, chemical peel, hot needle, etc. etc. Nothing of this stuff works. At best it will moisture your lips/penis and under specific angles make it look better or at worst will make it much worse.
Speaking of worse. Around half a year ago I opted for micro punch treatment. I had enough of these Fordyce Spots and impulsively decided to just go ahead with the procedure and hope for the best. Boy oh boy, I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from doing that.
Long story short without going too much into detail, the procedure was a nightmare. After the procedure I had a big hematoma on my shaft. The hematoma never left and later on was somewhat "fixed" by another surgeon that had to cut it out and stitch parts of the skin back together. I now have a 0.5cm thick white line going across half of my shaft. But now you are wondering, how was the fordyce spot removal?
Well. Unfortunately I have darker skin down there. Think dark Mediterranean brown. The sebaceous glands where removed, yes, but unfortunately ended up transforming into bigger white scars. As of now, half a year from the operation my penis looks pretty weird. Long white scar with additional 30-40 white spots on darker skin that makes everything a tad bit more noticeable.
I don't think anyone can understand the level of shock/frustration/depression/anger I went through in the last six months but I've recently decided to be a bit more positive. It sucks. It sucks because this damage is permanent. But this is the situation and I need to make the best out of it. The only solution I can see is only having sex in the dark until me and my future partner get more emotionally involved. At some point, questions will be asked because looking at it will make people immediately wonder "What the f**k happened there?". I'm going to go with, "A very unfortunate fire cracker incident when I was young". Because seriously, this is easier to explain than what really happened.
On another note, the removal of the Fordyce on the lips was actually somewhat successful. They grow back quicker than you would want but if you live near a micro punch specialist that is competent and you have a lot of money to burn, it is something you may want to consider.
In conclusion, the only thing I really want to say to all of you people that suffer from this terrible curse of god. Accept it, Live with it because there's currently no real cure and there's a very good chance that if you pursue serious surgical solutions you will make things worse for yourself on a permanent basis. Like me. Don't be me. I took a hit for all of us.
