Fordyce's Condition Information and Treatment 

Fordyce's Condition is a rare skin condition not the disease that are due to an overgrowth of the sebaceous glands. The condition is found in almost 90 percent of adult men. They may emerge as single lesions or as symmetrical groups of 50. The spots are 2 to 5 mm in diameter. Surrounding tissue is not influenced by the growth of the lesions. These spots can also appear on women. Fordyce granules arise as rice-like, white or yellow-white, asymptomatic papules of 1-3 mm.

A variant of this condition, called as Fordyce's condition causes tiny yellow dots in groups and betimes in sheets on the lips, inside the mouth, and sometimes on the genital skin. A disorder commonly observed in the elderly, characterized by multiple, spherical, reddish to black, elevated lesions rarely over 4 mm in diameter, which usually follow the course of the scrotal veins.

A condition signed by the presence of numerous small yellowish-white granules on the inner surface and border of the lips. Also called Fordyce's disease. No treatment is necessary. The spots are a type of ectopic sebaceous gland, and are not known to be interrelated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic care only. They are non-infectious and a fully natural presence on the body. TCA chemical peels will also invert sebaceous hyperplasia, but new lesions will occur slowly after treatment.
