    Those are Fordyce Spots. Everyone's born with Fordyce spots, but they generally become more noticeable as you age. Fordyce spots can be somewhat disconcerting at first glance but they do not present any health risks. Squeezing or picking at the spots is not recommended as this can introduce infection or cause scarring. If you dislike your Fordyce spots or find them aesthetically unappealing, there are cosmetic treatments to remove them.
