Understanding Fordyce Spots
Fordyce spots are visible sebaceous (oil) glands that appear on the penis, shaft, scrotum, or sometimes the lips. They are completely normal, harmless, and not caused by infection or sexual activity. Many men choose to remove them for cosmetic or personal confidence reasons.

These are common descriptions of Fordyce spots.
What Fordyce Spots Look Like
Fordyce spots typically appear as:
- Small white, yellow, or skin-coloured bumps
- Smooth, raised dots
- Clusters along the shaft or on the scrotum
- Painless and non-itchy
- More visible when the skin is stretched
No tests or swabs are required — diagnosis is made visually.
Are Fordyce Spots Harmful?
No. Fordyce spots are:
- Not an infection
- Not sexually transmitted
- Not cancerous
- Not linked to hygiene
- Not dangerous in any way
They are simply enlarged sebaceous glands that sit closer to the skin surface. However, many patients feel self-conscious about their appearance, which is why safe removal is available.
