I'm noticing some small pimples on my penis and I'm a bit worried about what they could be. I'm wondering if they might be Fordyce spots, but I'm not entirely sure. Should I consult a doctor about this, and if so, which type of doctor should I see?

Fordyce spots are a common condition that can appear as small, pale, red, or white bumps on the skin. If you suspect you have Fordyce spots, you can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and confirmation. In some cases, no treatment is necessary, but if you are experiencing any discomfort or want them removed for cosmetic reasons, your dermatologist may recommend topical treatments or procedures like laser therapy.
