hi
is it possible to have fordyce spots around the anus area? ive got a lump which the GP has stated is a hemorroid with a skin tag. But ive noticed white bumps around the anal skin. Also quite itchy at times too.
Havent had a new partner for 7 years with no anal sex. when i mentioned these spots to GP he said it looked.fungal.

you can get them around your anus but there never usually big lumps

To be fair they dont feel like big lumps. more look like that on the picture which is obviously zoomed in. area is red and irritated potentially off wiping too hard scratching etc.

It appears to be harmless. If you also have a fair amount of fordyce spots on your penis as well, I would say it is normal for you.

hi thanks for replying. i do have quite a.few on my penis so maybes its normal. skin does get itchy down there. GP stated he thought i had a patch of eczema at the top of the buttocks so maybes that has spread further inside.

they dont really look like warts to me. has the appearance changed any?

no changes. occasionally itchy but my skin can get dry so may be a skin condition. GP took a look and said hemmaroids and dismissed the idea of warts when i mentioned it.
My anxiety is the roof so self diagnosed myself with all sorts of issues.

Yes, fordyce spots can appear around the anus. I've done some studying, and spoke to a doctor, they can appear around the whole genitalia, which the anus is apart of that. I actually have the same condition, it's really harmless, they dont cause any harm! I spoke to my doctor, I showed him my anus and he said those spots are oil glands, and just having them left alone is the best thing, dont try and squeeze them as they will cause skin infections.. also these bumps dont always have pus inside them! It is very common in humans to have these spots..
The fordyce spots are small and some can appear bigger than others.. And it's very normal to see alot of these spots..
My best advice for you is to leave it, keep the genitila area clean.
God bless. 😊🙏
