Enlarged fordyce spots from thrush?

hello, just after a bit of advice from anyone who may have something similar.

I had a pretty severe yeast infection few weeks ago, treated it with pessary, symptoms went away however the cream irritated my outside skin so i also took oral tablet too. (cleared my thrush up) but since then I have had enlarged fordyce spots on my labia minora which now feel hard and lumpy going down along my labia.

Can inflammation from the infection / reaction to the cream cause the spots to enlarge ? if so is there anything that can help it go down?

went to my doc and she said it looks like nothing to worry about that it was just enlarged tissue. She also said reactions like contact dermatitis from pessary cream is very common too.

any advice would be great!
