Brief Answer:
An image would be helpful

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I believe that you are talking about the Fordyce spots which are normal and caused due to blockage of the opening of the sebaceous glands, but frankly speaking I would need more details to be able to comment further. I suggest that you visit a doctor and get the condition evaluated. Alternatively you can upload a photo using the facility on the upper right of thus page.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

I have seen the images and they seem to be Fordyce spots indeed. It is not a cause of worry. You may let it remain as it is. Just maintain proper hygiene.

Hope that helps.
