Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted that your son is 12 years old- just going to enter the teenage.
He already must have the hormonal changes, that causing the spots on the scrotum,
These spots on the scrotal skin are not Fordyce as they occur at the shaft or base of penis and never on the scrotal skin.
The ones on the scrotal skin are called sebaceous cysts,
There is no specific treatment and is not needed./ Tell your son that this is normal appearance and removal is not needed.
I hope this answers your query.
