Yes, Fordyce spots are benign findings on lips, penis, scrotum or labia. By healthline website: "The Fordyce spots, also called Fordyce granules or Fordyce glands, are enlarged oil glands. They are completely normal, harmless, and painless. According to a 2015 case report published in Clinical Case Reports and Reviews journal, they occur in 70 to 80 percent of adults".
