Fordyce Spots

Fordyce Spots (commonly referred to as Sebaceous Prominence) are small painless white spots or bumps that are can be found on the shaft of the penis and around the lips of the face. They are common in males and females of all ages and usually become present during puberty. They are named after an American dermatologist, John Addison Fordyce. These spots should not be confused with be with Hirsuties papillaris genitalis, spots they are on the gland of the penis.

Chemical Gel Treatments Available

We have been searching for various treatments online and Tretinoin Gel appears to be a strong contender as a good gel treatment. Tretinoin Gel has many brand names: Aberela, Renova, Retin-A, Avita, or Stieva-A. These treatments are proven to be effective however reports of itching problems prevent males using the product. The only foreseeable problem is that the gel will need to be constantly applied to the affected area as they may return if the gel is stopped being used.

CU-Skin is a treatment that combines active natural ingredients with modern Dermalogical research, using combating agents such as Tocopherol to dramatically reduce the size and appearance of Fordyce Spots.

CU-Skin TreatmentAn online alternative for men who would prefer to buy online can visit the Anti-Sebum Website.

CU-Skin extracts excess sebaceous oils and impurities from the spots/lesions by tightening pores from within the follicle, reducing the size and visibility of the spots. This reduces sebum production from within the sebaceous gland itself, leaving the skin smoother and free of Fordyce Spots. The treatment needs to be applied twice daily with a good layer of the treatment, rubbing it into the glands. Visible results can usually be seen after 14 days however their recommended treatment period is 30 days.

Hey guys i happened to notice another forum with many users of this anti sebum and they all say they had zero results its a scam, much to my disappointment as i really believed this was going to work still may try it as its reasonably cheap but ive browsed long and hard to figure out this fordyce spots thing without embarrassing myself going doctors and ive found a bunch of things to use that all claim to reduce fordyce spots and are more medically approved u may know of some yourself but just sharing the knowledge ive found but not yet tested..

Tretinoin gel twice daily
used with alpha hydroxyl acid (aha scrub)
Argania twice daily with tocopheril
Jojoba oil (more natural) and have a diet high in folic acid and vitamins A,C,D,E,K
Or worse case scenario Accutane consult a doctor before using as it causes some bad side affects
These all claim to reduce not permantly remove as co2 treatment and lazer surgery only removes completly sorry for the essay i wont really be on regular to update its horrible to have this! good luck to all hope we all have successful methods whatever we try!

i bought this product last year for two months. Honestly it doesnt work. – it makes your skin feel smoother but they are still very visable. Also after i stopped using it they came back 3 times as worse!

I went to the doctor and he said as i was using something to stop my body naturaly producting sebum, whenmy body started producting sebum again (after i stopped using it) my body producted alot more sebum to counter act the product. ‘making more spots’

So my advise is DONT USE – THEY will get worse in the long run!!

okay so now im concerned if this will even work. when i ordered it didn offer me shipping options like every other place has in the past, and now the product has a different name from this but the bottles look exactly the same. why would they change the name?

I’m pretty sure this product will help reduce the appearance of these fordyce’s spot bumps.
I’m talking about a similar condition in here which is called pearly penile papules.
The difference is that Pearly penile papules are located on the head of the penis instead on the shaft or scrotum like Fordyce’s spots.

ive been using this product now for 2weeks and the spots are starting to fade away :D this product works if its applied to clean surface (clean 2 times min with non cented soap, found at any market. then you have to put a thick layer on the spots and gently rub it and let it dry completely before putting pants on. 1 month and im probably free from these yay.

@Julian – I agree that the bottle could be a bigger quantity. I received a 20ml bottle so it seems they have taken into account what I’ve said on my previous news article. I agree that more instructions would be useful. What I’ve found works best is rubbing the solution on the affected area and leaving it to dry for about 15 minutes before putting any underwear on. I hope you do start to see the results soon. What you have to remember though is that some products may not be as effective as it is for others. Have you taken some before after shots? There is some information on their Guarantee page (http://www.fordycespots.com/guarantee/) Please let us know how you get on over the next month.

i have had fordyce spots for years and it is quite bad i bought this stuff about 2 weeks ago and when i got sent the bottle right away i was dissapointed. They give you a small 25 ml black bottle when they advertize a much bigger blue bottle. I’ve been using it 2 weeks and nothing has chagnged yet. They dont give you instructions on how to use it, should i be letting it dry in before i go about my day or is just putting it on enough? I have bought my second bottle and after ive been using it for a month i will give a full review but its not looking good.

@Sundis & Sabuuu – The frequently asked questions page shows the product is available for world wide shipping. I would recommend you get in touch with Anti-Sebum though to ensure they deliver to your country.

@Bill – It is an online company so you can only buy CU-Skin from http://www.fordycespots.com/

Please drop us a quick review if you buy the product because I would like to see how other people are getting on.

I have been testing this product for 14 days now, I will be posting a detailed version of events etc early next week. Early indication shows that CU Skin has been effective, however due to my extreme Fordyce’s Spots case, I may require 2-3 more treatments before the spots are completely gone. I have taken before and current pictures. It is somewhat hard to see the difference at this stage, but I am pleased with the results so far.
