Fordyce's spots are:

• A. A malignant lesion requiring biopsy
• B. A cosmetic finding from sebaceous glands on shaft and scrotum; not a concern
• C. An infectious dermatitis
• D. A vascular malformation

Answer: (B)

Fordyce's spots are benign ectopic sebaceous glands that show up as small, pale or yellowish bumps on mucosal surfaces, most commonly on the lips and on the genital area such as the shaft and scrotum. They represent a normal variant rather than a disease, so they don’t threaten health and don’t require biopsy or treatment. They’re not infectious dermatitis and not a vascular malformation. Most people just need reassurance, with treatment only considered for cosmetic reasons if desired.
