Penis :: White Spots On Shaft And Scrotum - Fordyce Spots?

Well Im a male and Im 16 and not sexually active. I have these a bunch of white spots at the base of my shaft and like two mid shaft. and they are all over my scrotum. When they are popped, a white pus type stuff comes out (like popping a whitehead on your face or nose or whatever) I don't pop them, but i did when i first noticed it when I was about 13 years old. I've looked around and the closest thing i can come to is that it's fordyce spots? I really don't want to go to a doctor as this is pretty embarrassing even though its their jobs and all but yeah. Btw when i was taking accutane for my acne they sorta went away? Idk i cant remember clearly but i think i saw less of them but i don't remember. I'm off accutane now but yeah.

Acne :: Ruined My Life - Accutane Will Work?

I'm 17 a soph in college and i've struggled with acne for 3 years now. i used to have amazing skin and then started getting mild acne here and there.
but now it has gotten so horrible that i can't even stand to look at myself in the mirror. my self esteem is down the drain. i don't go out at all, not even with friends or family. i just stay at home all day feeling like crap.

it has gotten so bad that i even broke up with my 3 year boyfriend. he says he loves me no matter what but i feel like he's lying. i just feel so ugly and disgusted with myself.

i have tried everything out there possible. every pill, every over the counter med, and every prescribed med there is. im starting accutane next month and i know it's supposed to do wonders but i just don't know what to do with myself till then.

i feel so hopeless and helpless. college is starting in 7 weeks and i wanted to have better skin before then but i don't even think that's possible. i hate being the only one with bad skin amongst my friend group. it seems like they all have flawless skin and im so ugly. i know it will get better after i start taking the pill but for now i feel so low and i feel like im crying all the time because of this.

Penis :: Are Fordyce Spots Contagious?

Can anyone who's been in a relationship tell me whether or not they think they developed fordyce spots (on their genitals or lips) shortly after having contact with another person who has it, or who had it before the relationship and the person they're with developed it after the relationship began.  I know doctors say its not contagious/infectious but I want to try and make absolutely sure before I get into a relationship, especially after reading a post by a person who noticed the spots shortly after dating someone who had them.

STDs :: Herpes Or Fordyce Spots

I'm a male, 25 years of age, who has braces, so I chronically get some ulcers in my mouth due to the braces and drinking and such. This past week I drank an abundant amount of alcohol. I also smoked some dabs (very concentrated form of marijuana) which I normally never do. During the week I drank out of multiple random beverages that people had drank out of. I also kissed a girl/ she gave me oral sex, which happened about 2 days ago. I messaged the girl asking if she had ever come into contact with any STD's. She said no. I have an ulcer or two in my mouth and on my tongue that I chalked up to heavily drinking and the braces (figure I may have bit my tongue being so drunk). They looked fairly normal compared to any other ulcers I had received in the past and began healing as usual. I noticed some small white bumps or spots (because they aren't really bumpy) on the upper part of my lips and in the corner of my mouth (still on my lips). When I do research on the bumps they closely resemble the pictures I see for Fordyce Spots. They don't really resemble the pictures for oral herpes.  They aren't posing any problems of pain either. I was heavily exposed to the sun this week (almost everyday) and didn't really possess the best hygiene. I went to the doctor today and he really wasn't much help because he didn't even really look at my lips. Just asked if I had been sexually active, I told him yes and what happened. Then he automatically assumed it was probably herpes and prescribed me some meds. Then said to come back in two weeks and get tested. I plan on getting tested this week and then again in two weeks as well, but I'm not sure if it's Herpes or the Fordyce Spots or just me being paranoid. Or if it could be something caused by smoking the marijuana and heavily drinking. I also don't know if it's an allergic reaction of some type. But I'm freaking out.

Penis :: Fordyce Spots As Long As I Remember

So i've had these spots on my penis for as long as i remember and they really destroy my self confidence, i'm 20 years old and never had a sexual partner mainly because of this, did fool around with one person but they only touched it with their hand, any insight would be great..

Treatment / Remedies For Fordyce Spots On Lips?

Has someone found a topical cream that actually works? I went to see my doctor today who didn't even have a clue what Fordyce spots/SP was. when I filled him in he refused to prescribe me Tretinoin! Anyone know where I can buy this in the UK? Also would love to hear about any home remedies people have tried RECENTLY. I've been taking vitamins everyday and eat sh*t loads of garlic now but it still seems to be getting worse. Or maybe I just think it' getting worse being paranoid about it. Would it be worth me going to see a dermatologist? Would there be anything they could prescribe? I really wouldn't feel comfortable stabbing holes in my lips and squeezing these things out + there are to many my whole top lip is covered!

White Bumps On My Upper Lip - Fordyce Spots?

I'm 17 and I was just looking in the mirror at my lips, because they had been really badly chapped two weeks before. I bought some kind of chap stick, and it worked really well... no more chapped lips. However I noticed today that I now have little white bumps on my upper lip. I've never noticed them before, and I was wondering if you could get these bumps from using too much chapstick perhaps.
