How to treat FORDYCE SPOTS - Doctor O'Donovan explains...

Doctor O'Donovan explains treatment options for Fordyce spots (or granules). Fordyce spots, also called Fordyce granules, are small pimple-like structures that commonly form on the body. They're seen most often on male genitalia, especially around the shaft and testicles, but can be found on the lips and inner mouth. They're also present in female genitalia, especially around the labia. Importantly, they are harmless and NOT an infection. They generally do NOT needed treatment. However, if treatment is desired for cosmetic reasons there are options like micropunch surgery or laser treatment which we discuss in this video. This video will be of interest to medical professionals (doctors, nurses etc.), health care students (medical and nursing students), those preparing for exams - (medical school finals, GP AKT, USMLE,) and the general public interested in health education. It is designed with the non-specialist in mind. More information on Fordyce spots: https://dermnetnz.org/topics/fordyce-...
