I went to the gynecologist and dermatologist and they were both dismissive saying it was normal sweat glands. But it didn't look like this a year or so ago. I think it looks gross, as do my "meat" flaps. Is there anything I can do to make it look better? When I sit, it also looks weird. The texture and shape is off. I'm only 26, and I haven't had sex.

Answer: Fordyce spots Fordyce spots can develop on the mouth and lips as well as the genitalia and can contribute to a bumpy skin appearance. They are normal elements of skin glands and are more pronounced in some people for unknown reasons. Skin resurfacing with peels and laser can reduce or eliminate their appearance but can also lead to changes in pigmentation and scarring if the treatments are too aggressive, like any laser treatment. In some cases it’s not possible to eliminate the bumps or they can come back.
