Small white bumps/spots on foreskin of penis

I believe these small white bumps/spots appeared only a few days ago as I've not noticed them before. Any insight on what they could be? It's not irritating or itching me...for now. My penis did touch the bowl of my work toilet a few days ago if that information helps.

Last time I had sex was about 6 weeks ago which was protected. I am 28 years old.

    It is quite likely that you may not find a clear cut answer to what this is that is causing this. It could be an anomaly within your penile skin, and is causing what could be described as pimples, or similar, or the skin could be reacting to something it is contact with from time to time, or it could be because of demands placed on the skin that is then causing these to occur. (Such as during sex or masturbation, for example)

    Unless they become permanent or become much worse then I doubt you will discover the cause.

      STI results came back negative 😃

      The doctor said they are fordyce spots, and should heal itself over the next few months. Cannot be transmitted via sex etc so quite safe there.

      The doctor also found a couple spots of molluscum contagiosum just above the groin area. Unrelated to the fordyce spots.

      Hope this helps.
