Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I can understand your concern for fordyce spots. I would like to know from your side that the diagnosis of fordyce spots was given by a dermatologist or a doctor or you yourself made the diagnosis on the basis of pictures on net.

Any how fordyce spots are never formed due sex or oral sex. These are proliferation of oil glands and are present in more than 50% of population in one or the other forms.

Even if you are so much worried then the spots can be removed by a radiofrequency machine by a dermatologist. You can meet dermatologist for further guidance.

All the best.
