Are these Fordyce spots?

Posted , 4 users are following.

i only notice them when i stretch the skin. 3 years ago i did have Hpv but those bumps stuck out and could be cut off (when the doctor took a test)

i remember seeing these for awhile but concerned. are they Fordyce or just the hair root sticking out? only notice then mostly where hair is sticking out
