@thepathordh: Fordyce granules (Fordyce spots) Clinical signs: small, harmless, raised, yellowish-white/flesh-colored bumps that can appear on the buccal mucosa (inside lining) of the cheeks or lips. They are a type of ectopic sebaceous gland that contains oil-producing sebum. Prevalence: affects both males and females, and they typically appear during puberty or young adulthood. They are not contagious, and they do not require any treatment unless they are causing discomfort or aesthetic concerns. Prognosis: Good. In rare cases, they may become infected, causing pain or discomfort, and may require medical attention. Treatment: While Fordyce granules are generally harmless and do not require treatment, it's important to consult a healthcare professional if you notice any unusual changes in the appearance or texture of your oral mucosa. #oralpathology #flossflossfloss #oralhealthday #dentalhygienistlife #dentalhygienist #internationaldentist #dentallife
