Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Fordyce spots and Fox fordyce are different.
Fordyce spots are visible sebaceous glands that are present in most individuals. They appear on the genitals and in the mouth.They are not associated with any disease or illness and they are natural occurrence on the body. No treatment is required.
Fox–Fordyce disease is a chronic blockage of the sweat glands.This disease requires surgical removal of the skin tissue containing affected sweat glands.
Thank you.
