message: There are distinct differences between Angiokeratoma of the Scrotum (a.k.a. Angiokeratoma of Fordyce) and Fordyce's Spots. Compare my images of Angiokeratoma of the Scrotum to those in the Fordyce's Spot article. Also, here is a useful link...Angiokeratoma of the Scrotum

thread_title: '''''ANGIOKERATOMA OF THE SCROTUM vs. FORDYCE'S SPOTS'''''

message: 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.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.69.40 (talk) 14:16, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prevalence  

message: The article currently reads very much as if these spots, which occur in the majority of humans, are a disease.  It’s obvious that the article receives disproportionate attention from people who are upset by the appearance of the spots because theirs are more prominent and/or they are under the mistaken impression that they are not supposed to be there.  Similarly it focuses on the male genitals even though these spots are quite common on the face as well, around the eyes and nose.  They are sebaceous glands that don’t have corresponding hair follicles -- nothing more.  Finally, why should there be two pictures of Angiokeratoma, which, as the article states, is unrelated?
I don’t feel particularly qualified to overhaul this article, but perhaps someone with greater medical knowledge could fix it?

:Hi - I'm afraid that Wikipedia really isn't a good place to ask for advice on your specific condition.  Wikipedia editors are by and large not qualified to give medical advice.  I recommend that you ask a qualified physician who can give you an informed opinion. —Tim Pierce (talk) 16:52, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
