Brief Answer:
Mostly its harmless so no treatment is required

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Fordyce spots are nothing but enlarged glands. Since Fordyce spots are harmless and do not go away easily, we do not suggest treatment.

Retinol cream and coconut oil are somewhat effective. But these tend to recur.
