    Hi yeah they look like fordyce spots. I don't think there's much you can do with them without causing scarring. as you get older they might reduce

    Hey Devin,

    These are definitely fordyce spots. These appear during puberty and may continue throughout your life time. That being said there really isn't a way to remove these yourself, because these can appear throughout your life, there is no reason to have these removed other than for cosmetic reasons. Majority of males have them. You shouldn't worry.

    I agree with everyone else here. Those are fordyce spots, and I think there are laser treatments and certain medications that you can use to get rid of them (or at least make them less visible).

      Do you know any of the medications? If theyre are some

      The topical options are trichloroacetic acid and bichloroacetic acid (both are wart removers). Orally, you can take isotretinoin (which is used to treat acne as well). I would talk to a doctor first before trying anything.

    do you have any under the head of the penis? if so, that might be pearly penile papules, it heals on its own.
