I have multiple fordyce spots that turned inflamed and started to get kind of itchy. this started about a month ago and i am starting to get worried. I saw online that fordyce spots can get infected is that true and could that be what i have. Also how could i treat this
Hi, thank you for putting up your query on Chat Doctor.force spots as such are painless, but yes, they do get infected with bacteria known as infected force spots.-- they usually get infected, if scratched a lot. So, avoid scratching and popping them out.-- usually resolve in 5-7 days if left alone.-- you can take tab levocetrizine 10 mg BD and painkillers like tab ibuprofen.-- consult a dermatologist if it persists, you may need a course of oral and topical antibiotics, if seriously infected. Hope, it helps. Thank you.
