Fordyce spots: Sometimes called pearly penile papules or Tyson's glands. Can come and go, be more prominent at times than others. They are benign , normal and no need for concern. Most prominent in uncircumcised penises. You can always take and send a picture for our review ; confirmation. It would not be sexting ; would be for medical review and you remain anonymous.
