Penis spot: Penis spots can be many things. Some STDs, some not. Top 2 photos are non-STDs: Fordyce spots (sebum which can be extricated by M.D. or left alone), Infected hair follicle (plucked and kept clean). Bottom 2 photos are STDs (HPV and Molluscum) to be evaluated by your MD so he can rule out STD and council you for prevention. Don't use acid products on your penis!
