Hello. i have small spots all over my penile shaft. i have been with the same partner for 8/9 years and we both have been sti tested so have ruled out that. After doing research on google, i am unsure to whether they just are fordyce spots or not. it doesnt itch or irritate at all.
Any input about whether to not worry about it or to make a GP or go to GUM clinic greatly appreciated.
Regards

As Kim says above, they are normal fordyce spots and very common. I have lots of them (much more than your pictures show, especially on the underside of my penis) and they first started appearing when I was 12-13. I'm 51 now and they are showing no signs of fading or going away, i'm quite used to them nowadays.
