Hello, i recently noticed that i have small shinny spots all over my penis that were not there before i don't know what it is, i looked it up and i think it's fordyce spots.

No reason to worry: Probably always been there and you just never notice them before. If they are painless and don't look infected i wouldn't worry.

You r right: Those are enlarged sebum glands, no rx needed but they can be treated with laser.
