    First of all, please turn off your caps. Caps are not necessary here.

    Thanks

    Now, this is normal and they are just little sebaceous bumps. Meaning that oil is caught just under the pores of the skin. Many people have them. The easiest way to get rid of them is to exfoliate properly. Use a soap and loofa sponge and rub gently to exfoliate the dead skin on top.

    Proper washing and exfoliation should be your key.

    Does this go for the penis too? Please look at my question ''possibly fordyces spots''

    It is very natural and normal. Most, if not all, men have this to some degree or another.

    Oh, yeah, swearing is not really necessary.;)

    Do NOT use a loofa on your penis.

    And no I do not have any pics or links that I can show you.

    If there is odor, you need to seek the treatment of a health care professional in person.

    ''do NOT use a lofa on your penis'' LOL that sounds so hilarios the way I read it in my head dony worry I won't and I'm going to the DR anyway because I'm not so stupid as to risk losing my life or worse my penis because of my own petty embrassement I'm just trying to find out if what I have is just a typical skin thing and can be dealt with simple measures with I can
    Do in my own home.

    I've checked pretty much all the deadly skin lump penis things and other things like uclers so on far far different from what I have the closest thing is fordyces spots which is harmless and doesn't even require treatment
