Fordyce spots, commonly referred to as Fordyce spots, appear as small, painful raised bumps on the skin that often manifest on lips, cheeks or in the genital region.These spots are actually sebaceous (oil) glands that are more visible than normal and are not a cause for concern. Many individuals are drawn to aesthetic treatments despite being completely safe and noncontagious.
