Abstract
The Fordyce spots are ectopic sebaceous glands, located at the lip's vermilion border or the oral mucosa. Clinically presents as tiny, discrete, white or yellowish, focally grouped papules. It is a common cosmetic disorder and is significantly associated with emotional stress. Herein, we describe three cases that showed satisfactory cosmetic results after the treatment of Fordyce spots using a CO2 laser. Patients were 21-year-old, 25-year-old, and 28-year-old males with Fordyce spots on the upper lip. They were treated with the CO2 laser and after 4 months of treatment, no recurrence was noted. Treatment with pinhole ablation with CO2 laser improves cosmetic results, reduces downtime, and minimizes side effects. To the best of our knowledge, no such case series have been reported to date from the Indian subcontinent.
