    Looks as if you shave and these are the follicles from which hairs would spring. You could check by allowing hairs to grow for a week or two.

      These are not follicles I used to not shave and they've always been there, they are painless but ugly. I also have smaller white dots in clusters under my foreskin. They don't really look like those dots but they are also painless. Any idea what they could be? Do I have an STD or something?

      Very unlikely to be a disease of any sort. If they change in size, colour or nature, take more photos and show your doctor or go to a sexual health clinic.
