Male Organ Bumps Basics: Recognizing Fordyce Spots
by John Dugan OwnerPeople like to look their best, which is why they may spend time
at the gym, focus attention on their eating habits or pay particular attention
to what clothing is the most flattering to them. For the same reason, men
(hopefully) pay close attention to their male organ health, examining their
member for any changes that could signal a possible issue. When male organ bumps
appear, these can often cause a man to have concerns: Why are they here? What
(if anything) do they mean? What do I do about them? One common form of male
organ bumps which may cause these questions to arise is Fordyce spots.
Fordyce
spots
Named
after the doctor who is credited with discovering them, Fordyce spots are very
small white or pinkish spots that typically measure between 1 mm and 3 mm. (In
rare occasions, they will be a little larger.) Since 1 mm is roughly equal to
4/100 of an inch – so these male organ bumps are rather small.
Fordyce
spots usually occur in groups, rather than individually, and it is not uncommon
for a man to have them all along the shaft of his manhood and/or on his sacks.
(They can also appear elsewhere on the body, most commonly on the
lips.) They fortunately do not cause any pain, and they are not sore
or tender to the touch. And because they are so small and painless, often they
may go unnoticed for a long period of time. (It is estimated that up to 80% of
men have Fordyce spots, so it is quite a common condition.)
Perhaps
most importantly, these male organ bumps are not a sign of a larger problem.
They don’t indicate the presence of a social disease or other serious male
organ health condition.
Causes
So
what causes Fordyce spots? Most often, the culprit is sebaceous glands – those
glands in the body which secrete the natural oils that are needed to keep the
skin healthy. Most of the time, these glands are located near hair follicles,
as it is these follicles that help provide a pathway for the oils to leave the
body and reach the skin’s surface.
Some
recent research suggests that Fordyce spots may be more likely to occur in
people whose blood levels are higher in fat than normal – although since so
many people have Fordyce spots, it may instead mean that men with higher blood
fat levels may simply have more of these particular male organ bumps.
Treatment
Because
Fordyce spots are benign, there is no need to treat them medically. However,
some men can come to feel anxious or worried about having these male organ
bumps. They may have experiences where a partner is put off by the Fordyce
spots, perhaps worrying that they are a sign of a social disease In such cases,
a qualified medial professional may be consulted to discuss options. Sometimes
laser surgery is used as a way of removing Fordyce spots.
Some
doctors believe that dietary changes can have an impact on the presence of
these spots, with lower-fat diets reducing the amount of oil secreted.
More
often, however, men simply accept their Fordyce spots. Some partners even find
they make the manhood more attractive.
Identifying
Fordyce spots and other male organ bumps is part of a proper male organ health
regimen, as is the daily application of a first rate male
organ health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man
Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Keeping
member skin well-toned adds to the appeal of a man’s organ, so the selected
crème needs to include both a high end emollient (such as shea butter) and a
reliable hydrator (such as vitamin E). The skin also needs protection from
oxidative stress, which can be caused by excess free radicals. A crème with a
potent antioxidant, such as alpha lipoic acid, can help achieve this goal.
