These are normal, they are known as fordyce spots, many people have them and there nothing to worry about.

Yup I have those too. When they showed up at first I freaked out like I got genital herpes or something.

Ya, a lot of guys have that, its normal. I think pubic hair grows out of them? Don't know for sure though.

I have herd about them, and alot of people have them, so there is nothing to worry about... but if you think it is not the fordyce spots, you can always get it checked

They're completely normal. However, like sceneboy has said, you can get them be checked.

yes.

this question is answered in the Announcement at the top of this forum entitled "Puberty FAQ and Information - THIS MIGHT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION!":

I have white spots on my scrotum/penis shaft. Do I have an STD?
Nope. The ones on your scrotum (ball sac) are probably hair follicles, and hair will probably grow out of them in a few months/years. The ones on your penis could also be hair follicles, but some could be Fordyce's spots. Fordyce's spots are basically little patches of fat in the skin. They're completely normal and almost every guy has them. Don't pop them - just let them be. If you really want to get rid of them, there's an expensive laser treatment you could do, but doctors advise against any treatment.

There's also a possibility you could have a pimple down there if it becomes inflamed. Just pop it, clean it off and go about your day.
If you have warts down there, you probably need to go see a doc as you could have an STI/STD.
