    Hi adeja,

    Are you referring to the whitish spots on (genital?) skin? They could be ingrowing hairs, but I think they are more likely to be molluscum contagiosum, a viral STD. If you could take more photos, preferably in focus and re-post, we might be able to confirm this.

    Here is what molluscum looks like (DermnetNZ)- they are discrete painless lumps with a dome-shaped appearance and a central dimple.

    Rgds,

    Adhari
