<human>: I have multiple fordyce spots that turned inflamed and started to get kind of itchy. this started about a month ago and i am starting to get worried. I saw online that fordyce spots can get infected is that true and could that be what i have. Also how could i treat this
<bot>: Hi, thank you for putting up your query on Chat Doctor.force spots as such are painless, but yes, they do get infected with bacteria known as infected force spots.-- they usually get infected, if scratched a lot. So, avoid scratching and popping them out.-- usually resolve in 5-7 days if left alone.-- you can take tab levocetrizine 10 mg BD and painkillers like tab ibuprofen.-- consult a dermatologist if it persists, you may need a course of oral and topical antibiotics, if seriously infected. Hope, it helps. Thank you.
