View allI'm having some noticeable bumps around my genitals, and whenever I try to get intimate, my partner gets really freaked out by them. I'm worried about how they look and really want to find a way to make them less visible. Any advice on what I might do to handle this?
Fordyce spots on the penis are harmless and there is no pressing medical reason to seek treatment. However, the appearance of Fordyce spots on and around the penis can be distressing, worrying or embarrassing to sufferers. It's important to realize that Fordyce spots are harmless, painless, not infectious and do not require treatment. Their removal should be for cosmetic reasons only.Fordyce spots are much more noticeable when the skin is stretched, and may only be seen during an erection.

I've been noticing these dark bruise-like marks showing up on my lower legs for the last 8 months, and no matter what, they just won't fade away. It's kind of worrying me because they keep increasing. I am on the heavier side, and I'm wondering if my weight might be causing these haematomas, especially when there's pressure on certain spots of my legs. I've talked to a couple of doctors, but none seem to really get what's going on or how to treat it. Is there something else I could try, or some insight I might be missing?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
