General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due Fordyce spots. These are sebaceous prominences. If you send a picture of it then it will be more helpful in identifying. Occurrence of this will get stimulated if you have greasy and sweaty environment there. These are harmless. Taking more garlic and antioxidants will be helpful. You can also use aloe Vera gel for local application.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
