For this you should consult a dermatologist and get a KOH examination of the skin scrapings done to confirm the diagnosis. If the white spots are not easily scraped off then vitiligo should also be ruled out.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Hi,
Fordyce spots are small (1-5mm), slightly elevated yellowish or white papules or spots that can appear on the lips and inside of the cheeks. They may occur as a solitary lesion or more frequently in crops of about 50-100.
Fordyce spots are a variant of sebaceous glands (the glands that normally produce sebum and are usually found within hair follicles). Fordyce spots are sebaceous glands without hair follicles. They are present in 80-95% of adults.
So I have been getting spots for about 8-9 weeks. They tend to itch, at different times of the day, then get really itchy, the spot then gets big and raised, and after an hour or two goes down to a smaller red spot almost not visible usually within a couple hours or sometimes 48 hours. Then they are gone. When I first notice them, its really itchy, the middle of the area is white, and surrounding it is red. When I take pictures of them, they look like a pimple with a white head.

For some months now i have had strange tiny red spots appearing all over my upper body. They are individual red acne like spots, often white or shiny looking in the middle, however there is nothing inside them. They appear to stay for weeks if not months on end, and possibly only dissapear when picked at and then they bleed and scar.
My 3 yr old daugther has dry flacky spots on her rear and thighs and a few around her pelvic area. Sometimes she gets them on the back of her neck and back. When it goes away it leaves dark spots where it was dry. It is very ichy to her. I've taking her to the doc. They have examed the spots, done blood work, giving me creams. Creams never really work, blood work comes out fine.She has had this for about 1yr 1/2. I have never gotten a satisfying answer to what it really is.
s condition include possible infection or skin conditions such as eczema, which is an inflammation of the epidermis. Eczema presents with dryness and recurring skin rashes that may itch and become dry. Tinea versicolor, on the other hand, is a common chronic, noninflammatory and usually symptomless disorder. It is characterized by the occurrence of multiple patches of all sizes and shapes, and varying in pigmentation, from pale, dark tan, or pink with a reddish undertone that can darken..
Hi i am 29 y old male. I have had this nagging itch rash white marks along the base of my penis. I have had this since 2005. But it goes away and comes back...very sporadic. I don't know if this is STD or just skin dryness. But i noticed this after I dated a girl for couple of months. We didn't have intercourse, but did fool around.
I have put lotion on it..it works for few hours and becomes dry again. i am not able to find anything online regarding this issue..
Hello,
First of all was the diagnosis of eczema confirmed for these dry red patches on the nose? This is because eczema often presents with itchy, red, dry and flaky skin. If the rash is non itchy then dry skin or seborrheic dermatitis of the face are important differentials to be ruled out.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky, dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp under the nose or anywhere on face.
I've had a single red bump, with other small white spots on my penis. These are all more towards the head of my penis as well. None of these hurt, unless irritated. I really picked at the big one and opened it(I know I'm dumb) but it didn't really hurt anyways. It leaked some clear fluid and some blood after I squeezed it, I also showered shortly after, with no pain. I can rub it with an open cut from picking at it, and it still doesn't hurt.
So, as the title says, I have dozens of hard, white bumps. They don't go away, or change, and they've been there for as long as I can remember. I, having trichotilomania, have tried to pop them. Usually, some odorless, white solid stuff will come out. Only two have gotten infected, but even then the infection dis down within a few days. Another thing to note is that I'm prone to ingrown hairs all over my body. What is this? I think they might be fordyce spots.
Hi,
When I am at physical therapy my knees turn extremely red and blotchy red spots and if you push on them it turns white. If you place your hand on them they are burning hot. My PT thought it was because I was working out, but this occurs at randoms times as well. Even if I'm just sitting down or laying down they just become red.
Also when I get out of the shower my whole entire leg has these red blotchy spots all over them from my toes to my hips.
