I've been dealing with these fordyce spots on my penile shaft and they just won't go away. My doctor suggested using Elocon cream, but it feels like it's just a temporary fix. The spots keep coming back and my skin gets all scaly and reddish, with some sensitivity. There's no discharge or pain, which is good, but it's still frustrating. What do you think I should do? Is there a better treatment or something I'm missing?

Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.
