I'm dealing with something that's really embarrassing - fordyce spots. I've done a lot of research and I'm pretty sure about the diagnosis. I'm in the South Mumbai area and I really want to get them removed. Can you suggest a good dermatologist who can help with this?

The treatment for Fordyce spots typically involves topical treatments such as Tretinoin cream or laser therapy. Tretinoin cream can be applied directly to the affected area once daily. Laser therapy, such as CO2 laser or pulsed dye laser, can also be used to reduce the appearance of Fordyce spots. However, it is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most appropriate treatment option and dosage for your specific case.
