Are The Ulcers On The Prepuce Be Fordyce Spots Or A Different Condition?
hello doc
I have these ulcers in my prepuce that have come out after what it seemed an eruption of a fordyce spot. I thought in the beginning that the fordyce spots i had had just grown a bit, but then one of them just bursted into a ulcer. And then more and more spots became eruptions and then ulcers. The zone where they are growing is just in the prepuce and it very sensible. I want to know if it is a symptom of a different condition or is part of the Fordyce spot thing
Thanks

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
If your lesions are normally occurring fordyce spots than they should not erupt and ulcerate like this. But as you have said, they are growing and getting ulcerated which are painful. So, I suspect these are not fordyce spots but something else.
It can be pimple like lesion, molluscum or any other thing like that.
It is very difficult to tell what exactly it is based on history. I advise you should consult your doctor for a precise diagnoses.
I hope this will be helpful.
Take care.
