#fordyce spots

[kierancampire]

A few guys (and i mean, like, less than 5 in many years) have tried giving me shit for my fordyce spots. But firstly, one of the very few parts of my body that i like is my dick, so trying to make me feel insecure about it is never gonna happen, i love it and that's that. But also, usually if someome said that i looked diseased, ugly, stuff like that, it'd destroy me. But when guys say it about my fordyce spots, i feel so contented with them that i don't care! Had them all my life, never been an issue, and honestly, i kinda like them as they make me unique, i think i have only ever seen 2 other guys with fordyce spots haha

I wish i was like this with the rest of me, life would be so much easier/better. But yeah, when it comes to the dick/fordyce spots, negative comments do not sink in in the absolute slightest, i wouldn't change it even if i could!

What is a Bump on lips? Causes and Treatment Tips

Does an unpleasant bump on your lips worry you? If so, you can get help from our extensive tutorial. This page provides helpful information about the causes, diagnosis, and treatment options for various lip imperfections, including pimples, white lumps, swelling protrusions, and more.

Recognizing Lip Bump Identification

Understanding the nature of these lip lumps is essential. They might have a variety of manifestations and underlying reasons. Common varieties include zits or outbreaks of acne that are limited to the lip region. Furthermore, the lips and other body parts may also develop little white pimples called Fordyce marks.

Reasons Behind Lip Bumps A swelling lump on the lips can cause discomfort and raise questions. This condition could be caused by multiple factors: Cold Sores: Resulting from the herpes simplex virus (HSV), cold sores hurt and enlarge the area around the lips. They appear as tiny, fluid-filled blisters.

Allergic Reaction: Lip swelling lumps, frequently accompanied by redness, itching, and inflammation, can be caused by sensitivity to lip care products, cosmetics, or food.

Canker Sores: Unlike cold sores, these tiny ulcers appear inside the mouth or on the lips and are brought on by stress, lip injuries, or specific foods. A benign but uncomfortable cyst known as a

mucocele: forms on the lip when a salivary gland duct becomes clogged or injured.

Angioedema: Benign swelling under the skin's surface, usually affecting the lips and eyes, may be brought on by allergies, prescription drugs, or genetics.

Trauma or Injury: Unintentional injuries to the lip area from sports activities or falls can result in bumps because they can cause blood vessel damage and tissue inflammation.

Distinguishing Between Other Lip Conditions and Breakouts from Pimples

Fordyce spots, a disorder characterized by swollen oil glands, are sometimes confused with acne. Fordyce spots don't get infected or inflamed like acne does. The mouth region is commonly the site of pimples, which are characterized by redness, swelling, and pus-filled lumps.

Medication Options

Treatments for different kinds of lip lumps may differ:

White Spot on Lips: Use warm compresses, refrain from picking, apply over-the-counter topical medications, and maintain hydrated lips.

Fever Blister (Cold Sore): Use antiviral lotions, take antiviral pills orally, keep lips covered from the sun, and refrain from touching or picking.

Mucocele: Larger mucoceles may need to be surgically excised if they continue after two weeks, although smaller ones may go away on their own.

Finally,

The majority of lip lumps are harmless and go away on their own. Persistent bumps, however, require medical attention for an accurate diagnosis and customized treatment plans. Seeking medical advice is advised if lip lumps don't go away after using at-home treatments for more than two weeks.

Opinions on fordyce spots?

You’ve asked twice, so I googled it. I still don’t really have an opinion. Probably frustrating for anyone experiencing it I guess?

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

Hi, I know you dont like.. diagnose things (just wanting confirmation if its like a normal skin texture or not) so hopefully this question is okay. But as I was trimming down there I noticed like a bunch of white(? Pink??? Like my skintone but lighter i guess) bumps surrounding the clit. I've never had sex before and they dont hurt/itch or anything so I want to brush it off but looking up clits online it doesnt seem like smth thats normally there but their clits seem different to mine so idk what to think.

hi anon,

you're right that I'm not generally in the business of diagnosing people; I have no healthcare expertise and that would be misleading and irresponsible. if you have concerns about something happening with your body, you should seek attention from a healthcare provider as soon as possible.

having said that, human bodies are pretty much made of weird bumps that aren't dangerous. the fact that your bumps aren't causing any pain or discomfort is a particularly promising sign, especially since you're also not at any risk of having an STI. without any further info I'd say there's a good chance they could be fordyce spots, which are nothing but slightly enlarged oil glands that are totally harmless. another google search specifically for "fordyce spots on vulva" may be helpful for comparison!

definitely keep an eye on the situation and seek out care if anything becomes itchy, painful, swollen, or discolored, or if you're feeling anxiety about it that could be put at eases by consulting with a doctor.

Aye where are my fellow girlies with those Fordyce spots on their lip

Let me tell you something: you're BEAUTIFUL baby, and I'm right there with you 💛💛💛

[lastwave]

hellooooo transmascs people might not tell u this but during bottom growth u might get fordyce spots. this also happens to cis men during puberty and arent something to worry about (as long as they arent itchy or painful- then theyre something else.) theyre oil glands that appear in an odd spot. since testosterone affects all of your glands, this sort of growth is not unusual. basically. do not stress urself out over an off-white spot on ur dick that does not come off during regular hygiene practices ONLY if it does not hurt or itch

When the Bennets arrive home, they meet with Mr. Bennet at the door.

“I hope, my dear, that you have ordered a good dinner today, because I have reason to expect an addition to our family party.” He says, holding up a letter.

Mr. Collins's voice fades out as his carriage wipes through frame revealing Santiago and Charlotte on their way to the butchers.

“His name is Mr. Collins. He's the dreaded cousin.”

“Who’s to inherit?”

“Indeed. Everything, apparently. He may leave us our stays, but even my piano stool belongs to Mr Collins. He can turn us out of the house as soon as he pleases.”

“But why?

“Because the estate is entailed to him and not to us poor souls.”

The Bennets and Mr. Collins are seated formally for supper.

“What a superbly featured room and what excellent boiled potatoes. It is many years since I had such an exemplary vegetable. To which of my fair cousins should I compliment the excellence of the cooking?”

“Mr. Collins, we are perfectly able to keep a cook.” Says Mrs. Bennet.

“What a blessing. I am honored to have, as my patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourg, you have heard of her, I presume?”

Mrs. Bennet shakes her head.

“ small rectory abuts her estate, Rosings Park, and she of ten condescends to drive by my humble dwelling in her little phaeton and ponies.”

A pause. Santiago catches his father's eye.

“Does she have any family?”

“One daughter, the heiress of it all and a creature of such superior graces she seems born to greatness. These are the kind of little, delicate compliments that are always acceptable to ladies, and which I conceive myself particularly bound to pay.”

“How happy for you, Mr. Collins, to possess the talent for flattering with such delicacy.” Mr. Bennet intervenes.

Mr. Collins nods with satisfaction.

“Do these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment or are they the result of previous study?”

Francisco kicks Santiago under the table. Santiago tries not to laugh at Mr. Collins' answer to him.

“They arise chiefly from what is passing at the time, and though I sometimes amuse myself with arranging such little elegant compliments, I always wish to give them as unstudied an air as possible.”

“Believe me, no one would suspect your manners to be rehearsed.”

Ben suddenly lets off a little explosion of hysteria. A fierce look from Santiago quells it and William pats Ben on the back solicitously.

“After dinner I thought I might read to you all for an hour or two. I have with me Fordyce's sermons, which speak eloquently on all matters moral. Do you know Fordyce's sermons?” Mr. Collins asks to Francisco.

All gathered by the fire through the doorway. Mr Collins leaves the room and takes Mrs Bennet aside to a very discreet conference, out of hearing of anyone else.

“Mrs. Bennet. You do know I have been bestowed by the good grace of Lady Catherine de Bourg a parsonage of no mean size.”

“I have become aware of the facto.”

“Well, it is my avowed hope that soon I may find a partner for it, and I have to inform you that the eldest Mr. Bennet has captured my special attention.” He points to Francisco, looking lasciviously into the room.

“Mr. Collins, unfortunately it incumbent on me to hint that eldest Mr Bennet is - very soon to be engaged.”

“Engaged!”

“But Santiago next to him in both age and beauty would make anyone an excellent partner. Do not you agree, Mr. Collins?”

Mr. Collins looks through the doorway at Santiago

“Indeed. Indeed. A very agreeable alternative.”

Mr. Collins appears through a door to the yard. He spots Francisco and Santiago and advance towards them.

“No, no! Quick! This way!” Santiago whispers.

She pulls Francisco across the duck board spanning the moat. Mr Collins comes out into the back garden. They are nowhere to be seen. He looks around, puzzled.

Santiago, holding Francisco's hand, is still running and laughing as he goes. Francisco is grumbling

“Oh do stop, Santiago, l've got no more breath!”

Santiago slows, turning around to laugh at Francisco, then turning back and practically winding the tall, blonde officer spotted earlier by Ben. He stands before Santiago, holding a handkerchief that's down fluttered, a witty curl on his exquisite mouth.

“Yours, I believe?”

Santiago is, for a moment, speechless, but then nods and takes the kerchief as William and Ben rush up from behind Wickham.

“ Oh how perfect you are, Mr. Wickham!” Ben sighs.

“ He picked up my glove, too. Did you drop yours on purpose, Santiago?” Will asks.

“ Mr. Wickham's a lieutenant.”

“ An enchanted lieutenant.” Wickham emphasizes.

“What are you up to, you two?” Francisco asks.

“We just happened to be looking for some ribbon and such.”

“For the ball!”

“Shall we all look together?” Wickham charmingly asks.

But Wickham's wry tone tells Santiago that he perfectly understands his silly brothers.

They come into the shop. The others go towards the counter. Wickham hangs back, and smiles a complicit, witty smile at Santiago.

“I shan't even browse. I can't be trusted. I have very poor taste in ribbons.”

“ Only a man truly confident of himself would admit that.” Santiago says gravely.

“No, it's true. And buckles. When it comes to buckles, I'm lost.”

“Dear oh dear. You must be the shame of the regiment.”

“A laughing-stock.”

“What do your superiors do with you?”

“Ignore me. I'm of next to no importance, so it's easily done.”

On the contrary, Wickham is almost impossible to ignore. Santiago tears his eyes from the winsome features as Ben grabs his sleeve. .

“Santiago, lend me some money!”

“You already owe me a fortune, Benny.”

“Allow me to oblige.”

“No! Please - Mr. Wickham”

Wickham gives Santiago a smile and moves away to the counter.

Wickham is escorting the girls home. He's scything down cow-parsley with his sword while Ben and Will gushing about the new items they just bought. It's impossible not to admire the cut of Wickham's jib as darts athletically about the undergrowth. Santiago is almost as enamored as his brothers. Francisco watches them all with his benevolent smile.

“Look! Mr. Bingley.”

Mr. Bingley and Miss Darcy are riding towards them. Bingley pulls in his horse, jumps down and hurries over, his open friendly face filled with delight. Darcy stays astride, staring at Wickham, who suddenly sheaths his sword and looks at the ground. Santiago watches him. His eyes dart up to Darcy and away again. Darcy's face is dark and closed.

“I was on my way to your house.”

“Mr. Bingley, how do you like my these for your ball?” showing the clothes Ben asks.

Bingley is gazing at Francisco.

“Very beautiful.”

“Oh he is! Look at him! All blooming.”

“Ben!” Francisco says angrily.

But Ben dances around Bingley, waving the ribbons in his face.

“Be sure to invite Mr. Wickham, he's a credit to his profession.”

Darcy turns and rides off without a word. Santiago watches, fascinated as Wickham recovers himself.

“Ben you can't invite people to other people's ball.”

“Of course, you must come, Mr. Wickham. Excuse me. Enjoy the day.”

Bingley bows, principally to Francisco, and jumps back on his horse. Santiago turns to Wickham, but he has walked ahead. The mood of the day has changed completely and Santiago starts to follow him thoroughly puzzled.

“ My feet hurt.”

“I hate this walk. It's always too far.”

“ Nearly there.”

While the other were walking ahead, Santiago was next to Wickham, who's looking depressed.

“Will you come to the Netherfield ball then, Mr. Wickham?”

“Ah. Perhaps. How long has Miss Darcy been a guest there?”

“About a month. Forgive me but are you acquainted with her? With Miss Darcy?”

“Indeed, I have been connected with her family since infancy.”

Santiago is genuinely surprised.

“You may well be surprised, Mr. Bennet, especially given our cold greeting this afternoon.”

“ I hope your plans in favor of Meryton will not be affected by your difficult relations with them.”

“ Oh no - it is not for me to be driven away. If she wishes to avoid seeing me, she must go not I.”

“Must ask you Mr. Wickham, what is the manner of your disapproval of Miss Darcy?”

“Do you really want to hear?”

Santiago tries not to nod too vehemently.

“She ruined me.”

Santi stares at him.

“How so?”

“My father managed her estate. We grew up together, Darcy and I. Her father treated me like his child. Oh he was the kindest of men and bequeathed me the best living in his gift, for I had my heart set on joining the church. But when he died Darcy ignored his wishes and gave the living to another man.”

“Why did she do that?”

“Out of jealousy, for his father loved me more than he loved her.”

“Cruel! Are you sure?”

“ And out of pride, for she considered me too lowly to be worth her consideration.”

Santiago gazes at him with horror and sympathy.

January 3rd the year 671 saw the birth in Ireland of Saint Maelrubha, a monk who founded a monastery at what is now Applecross.

On his father's side Maelrubha was eighth in descent from the famous Niall of the Nine Hostages, King of Ireland, and through his mother he belonged to the kindred of St Congal of Bangor. He was born on 3rd January 642 AD, probably in the south-east part of what is now Londonderry.

After residing for some time in the monastery at Bangor, he embarked for Scotland in 671 AD. His early missionary enterprises were concentrated in districts now included in Argyll, planting churches at Kilarrow in Islay, and on the mainland at Killarow in the modern Killean and Kilchenzie parish; Kilmory, now Strathlachlan parish; and Kilmorrie near Dunstaffnage Castle.

In 673AD St Maelrubha arrived at Apercrossan, now Applecross, in Ross-shire, and made it the nucleus of his Christian missionary work throughout that part of the west coast and eastwards as far as the shores of the North Sea. He continued to be the abb of the muinntir for an incredible fifty-one years and died on 21st April 722AD. The privileged ground around the monastery, its garth or sanctuary, extended six miles in all directions and came to be known in the Gaelic as A'Chomraich, i.e. the sanctuary, a name still applied in the Highlands to the present parish of Applecross.

Not surprisingly, Maelrubha was considered to be, "the patron of all the coast, from Applecross to Loch Broom." Traditions in the Black Isle tell us that St Maelrubha was martyred in the parish of Urquhart and that his body was carried back to Applecross for interment.

According to another tradition, he was killed by Scandinavian pirates in Strathnaver in Sutherland, and was buried at a spot close to the river Naver, about nine miles from its mouth. It is said that the spot was marked by a rough stone bearing an incised cross.

You have to make your choices in these matters but personally, I favour the Strathnaver version of the story. The churches of Forres in Moray and Fordyce in Banffshire were dedicated to St Laurence and St Talarican respectively but, since there was, in each of these parishes, a fair - known as Samareve's in the former,and New Summaruff's in the latter - the reader might conclude that there must have been some dedication to St Maelrubha in both parishes. There was also a Samarive's Fair in the parish of Keith, whose church was under the invocation of Maelrubha, giving the township its ancient name of 'Kethmalruf'. These are possible exaamples of old "Celtic dedications" being supplanted with new dedications which were more acceptable to the medieval Church as it became more Roman in its outlook.

The community at Applecross played a major rôle in the advent of Christianity in the north and north-west of Scotland. It acted, in those parts, in the same way that Iona did in Dalriada and the western isles. It is not surprising to find that its influence spread as far as the north east.

Pics are of thev 15th century ruined chapel at Applecross and St Maelrubha's Scottish Episcopal Church, Poolewe.

on this episode of america's garbage sex ed:

shit i didnt know existed/was normal til i looked it up

skene's glands: help lube the urethra (if you have a vag), potentially the origin of "female ejaculate" tho not confirmed

bartholin glands: help lube the vag itself, can become clogged and form a painful cyst, go to doctor at that point obvi

fordyce spots: visible sebaceous glands that can be on the genitals/lips/cheeks/gums, totally normal and harmless, look like small white/pink bumps

gartner's duct: a remnant duct that would've helped give you dick parts in utero, can also form a cyst, usually has no symptoms but can sometimes cause painful menstruation when young

White spots on lips can result from Fordyce spots, fungal infections, leukoplakia, sun damage, or nutritional deficiencies. Most are harmless, but a healthcare professional should evaluate persistent spots. For more info visit: https://www.suryadentalcare.com/bump-on-lips/

Keratotic And Non-Keratotic White Lesions Question And Answers

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

Hi sex witch!

I've been taking testerone for about 5 months now. For about a month or so now ive been getting a lot of spots develop in and around both my vulva and vagina. It's never truly bothersome (except when im masturbating ig bevause they're quite sore), and they go away after a little while but they consistently come back.

I initially figured that it's just because of normal hormone changes and is as to be expected, but i thought i should also check with someone to be safe. Do you think this is something i should be concerned about and if so is there anything i should be doing to take better care of it? Is it just bad hygiene on my part?

Thanks a lot for all your help!

hey anon,

although it is important to keep your vulva clean (doubly so because of some of the effects of taking T, which we're going to discuss in a second), you can stop worrying that this a personal hygiene problem. it's probably quite a bit more complicated than that!

by scouring one of my most reliable resources (the depths of trans reddit) I've got a couple of possibilities for you:

straight up acne. an influx of testosterone can cause acne outbreaks anywhere and everywhere, including on the vulva. definitely consistent with your spots coming and going, as well as the sensitivity? could definitely be worsened by sweat if testosterone is making you sweaty, as it does to so many people. a DIY hot compress is easy to make and can help clear up stubborn, painful acne.

fordyce spots. these are caused by, basically, a condition that makes your oil glands overgrow, similar to acne but generally without irritation. however, the spots can be itchy to the touch, which may explain your discomfort while masturbating? note that these are most common during the hormonal shifts of puberty, which very much includes the induced second puberty of hormone replacement.

ingrown hairs. once again, would explain the coming and going, as well as the sensitivity! this is common for a lot of people on T experiencing new hair growth, and can be helped by just giving your pubic hair regular trims with clean scissors. shaving can be harsh on your skin and cause the hair to grow back in ways that are more likely to become ingrown, but a little snip is much easier on your body and likely to help clear that right up.
