If you have noticed whitish-yellow bumps that suddenly appeared on your lips, inside your cheeks, or on your private parts, fear not. It turns out that these bumps, known as Fordyce Spots by the dermatologist who first described them back in 1896, Dr. John Addison Fordyce, are found at 80 percent of people.
These spots are actually oil glands, called sebaceous glands, that are usually associated with hair follicles, according to Healthline.
They are not itchy, painful, or infectious, but some people mistake them for other conditions, such as certain sexually transmitted diseases or genital warts.
