I have up loaded a picture of the area.
Brief Answer:
Possibility of Fordyce spots
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
The pictures are not very clear. I am not very sure but they look like fordyce spots to me. I would prefer better quality photos preferably in day light, to be 100 % sure.
Fordyce spots are ectopic sebaceous glands(at places where they normally should'nt be). They are usually present in clusters on labial mucosa as well as on the mucosal aspect of prepuce as well. It is mainly a cosmetic concern without any clinical significance. Fordyce spots can become more prominent at puberty under the influence of testosterone.
Treatment is either CO2 Laser vaporization or destruction with radiofrequency cautery. Oral retinoids are also helpful,because they shrink the size of sebaceous glands, thus making them less noticeable.
I would advice that you visit a dermatologist in your area and discuss with him/her about the most suitable method.
