Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Probably these are small glands on penile skin, the opening of which gets clogged occasionally to cause debris to accumulate which can be squeezed out. Usually these can be left alone, provided there is no swelling/pain/discharge. It can be confirmed if through a physical examination by your doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
