Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I want to know if those white dots are Fordyce spots or genital warts. I have no pain or other symptoms; I just want to confirm. I believe I have had them for a long time. Kindly help.
Hello,
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I understand your concern. From the image attached (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity). These are Fordyce spots only, not genital warts. These are ectopic sebaceous glands and are completely harmless. No treatment is required as it is considered a normal physiological variation.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
Sorry, but I am very afraid because another doctor told me those are warts. Can you confirm that they are Fordyce spots only, doctor? I want to be 100 % sure.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Yes, these are Fordyce spots only, not genital warts. So please stop worrying about it. It is a typical presentation, no doubt about it.
I am happy to help you and will always be available whenever you need me at icliniq.com.
Thank you.
