Hello,
Fordyce spots are benign. They aren’t caused by any disease. In most cases, they will go away on their own without any treatment. You can over the counter available creams like tretinoin for symptomatic relief.
If lesion persists for long, you better consult a dermatologist and opt for laser therapy or micro munch surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
