Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I’ve noticed small yellowish dots at the lower corners of my lip, which I believe are Fordyce spots. I’ve tried various methods to reduce their appearance, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to permanently remove them. Can you provide advice or treatment options for this condition?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

1. One potential treatment for Fordyce spots is cryotherapy, which involves freezing the spots with liquid nitrogen. While this procedure can be a bit painful, it is an option that can help reduce or remove the spots.

2. It’s important to consult with a dermatologist to discuss if this treatment is right for you and to assess the potential risks or side effects.

 

Thanks
