What you say: You seem to have correctly identified the physical appearance. Leave it alone.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

All sounds normal: At 18, probably your genital skin is naturally maturing. That often includes prominent natural skin structures: hair folllicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands (also called fordyce spots) all become more prominent with sexual maturity. Pearly penile papules also can show up -- they're normal too. "Growths" under tougue may be papillae near salivary gland ducts. See doctor if remain concerned

If stable, no: If these have not changed, they cannot be herpes. During your next physical exam, ask your physician what they may be.
