What can I do about Fordyce's spots? Can CO2 Laser or Accutane help?
Fordyce spots are essentially superficial oil glands of the skin. I have had success with simple, light hyfrecation or electrocautery (application of an electrical current to burn the spots). Although CO2 laser would probably be effective, I am not sure you would be able to achieve the pinpoint accuracy required to treat these small growths. I suppose Accutane in theory would help, but given its expected and potential side effects, the risks would outweigh the benefits in my opinion.Good luck.
