Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com

I can understand your concern.

These are Fordyce's spots. These are ectopic sebaceous glands and variation of the normal sebaceous glands. They are benign and do not need any treatment.

I would recommend not worrying about it. It's not related to any std.

Please let me know if you have any queries.


Regards.
