<\/span><\/h2>\nFordyce spots are small (1\u20135 mm), slightly raised, yellowish, or white papules<\/span> or spots that may appear on the glans or shaft of the penis, or the vulva<\/span> of the female, the inside of the cheeks and the vermilion border of the lips. They are also called Fordyce granules<\/span>.<\/p>\nFordyce spots are a variant of sebaceous<\/span> glands (the glands that normally produce tallow<\/span> and are generally within hair<\/span> follicles<\/span>) Fordyce spots are visible sebaceous glands without hair follicles. They are present in the 80-95% of adults. They are probably present at birth, but become larger and more visible starting at puberty. They can occur as loners injury<\/span> or more frequently in crops of about 50\u2013100. They are easier to see when the skin is stretched.<\/p>\nSometimes Fordyce spots cause anxiety, but they are completely harmless, either on the lips or on the genitals. They are not a sexually transmitted disease and they are not infectious.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Fordyce beads<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
