Hello

Thanks for posting your query.

The small bumps seen on the glans are fordyce's spots. These are ectopic sebaceous glands and are harmless. They need no treatment. You can just leave it alone

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Take care


Patient replied :

I have had them checked years ago and recently but uhm, can the heat from where im working and be a bit of a cause cause it did this last time I was at work and on break it all just went away and saw my GP he had a look and I he knows about my tests all being negative he said sometimes it just happens and its normal and its nothing bad. So I dont need to be worrying about the rash it pretty much is gone but yer.

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

As I mentioned I could just appreciate the bumps which are fordyce's spots. There is no other visible rash.

Fordyce's spots are normal and nothing to worry.

Thanks
