Fordyce Spots On Penis, Popped With Needle. Diagnosed As Infection. Will This Cause Scar?

Hello. I have Fordyce spots on my penis and I went to the doctors and he popped the big one with a needle. My main concern is whether this will cause trauma and I now it will scar. My other doctor and pediatrician told me that it was just an infection from where I was not changing my underwear regularly enough. Now that it has been popped with a needle will it stay for ages because changing underwear regularly is effective in fighting fordyce and other infections on the penis.

Fordyce Spots are benign and do not cause scars or any other problems.A preventive use of antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin may be used to prevent infection.Most likely uneventful recovery will occur.
