Fordyce spots on scrotum Fordyce spots on lips. On the shaft of the penis, Fordyce spots are more visible when the skin is stretched, and may only be noticeable during an erection. [8] The spots can also appear on the skin of the scrotum. [8] Oral Fordyce granules appear as rice-like granules, white or yellow-white in color.
Fordyce spots, or Fordyce granules, are ectopic sebaceous glands found on the genitals and oral mucosa. They show themselves as yellowish-white milia (milk spots). [29] Earwax is partly composed of sebum produced by glands in the ear canal. These secretions are viscous and have a high lipid content, which provides good lubrication. [30]
Fox–Fordyce disease (FFD) is a chronic blockage of the sweat gland ducts with a secondary, non-bacterial inflammatory response to the secretions and cellular debris in the cysts. [1] The inflammation is often accompanied by intense itching. [ 2 ]
A variable number of Fordyce spots or granules are scattered throughout the nonkeratinized tissue. These are a normal variant, visible as small, yellowish bumps on the surface of the mucosa. These are a normal variant, visible as small, yellowish bumps on the surface of the mucosa.
In the adult men already suffering from Fordyce's spots 50-90% of them are adults, the whole entire section on that is unnecessary and false. It should just be deleted. It should just be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.69.40 ( talk ) 14:16, 14 March 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]

The cause is unknown, [2] but it is thought to be caused by intracellular edema of the superficial epithelial cells coupled with retention of superficial parakeratin. . Although leukoedema is thought to be a developmental condition, it may be more common and more pronounced in smokers, and becomes less noticeable when smoking is
Cyanophycin was first detected in 1887 by the Italian botanist Antonino Borzì and can be found in most cyanobacteria and a few heterotrophic bacteria such as Acinetobacter sp. [1] Cyanophycin is largely insoluble under physiological conditions and is accumulated in the form of granules in the cytoplasm during phosphate or sulfur starvation ...
