High Cholesterol
High cholesterol is another disease that may be related to Fordyce spots. Preliminary studies have observed that more Fordyce spots on the lips and mouth may increase a person’s risk of having high cholesterol.
According to a study in the Dental Research Journal, hyperlipidemia may be linked to many Fordyce spots in the mouth. High amounts of lipids in the blood are a symptom of this illness. It raises the risk of developing heart disease.
The study aimed to look into Fordyce spot density and anatomical distribution patterns. Additionally, it investigates any possible connections between the presence of hyperlipidemia and the discovery of Fordyce spots.
Fordyce spots are relatively common, and their appearance is viewed as a standard variant of the oral mucosa. The findings suggest that it’s essential to consider the high Fordyce spot density among those with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
