I've tried that before on Fordyce spots in my vagina and it doesn't work. See, it's kinda counterintuitive. You've got these glands pumping out oil to nowhere, because they're in the wrong place (ectopic), so the oil builds up and forms our little friends (the spots). You might think putting something on the spots/bumps that will counter the oil and dry it up would work, but it only confuses the already thoroughly confused gland and makes it pump out even MORE oil, which makes the spots fuller and harder. You're better off using a Retinol-based gel coupled with something with alpha-hydroxy acids in it to slough and peel the skin. Or finding a medical practitioner who will actually get off his/her f*cking high horse and help you. Maybe laser or freeze them off, or lance them and totally dig out the entire gland and all the pus. Good luck with that one. They all just tell you to leave them alone. Also, don't try to lance them yourself. Been there done that. Not a good idea. And two more myths: they DON'T go away on their own and not only do they not diminish with age, they increase.

Rubbing alcohol is not typically recommended for treating fordyce spots. It may cause irritation and dry out the skin, potentially making the spots appear more prominent. It is best to consult with a dermatologist for safe and effective treatment options.

When analyzing a chromatograph why are some pigment spots larger than others?
