Hello
Thanks for query .
Spots on the shaft of the penis that your boyfriend has are mostly whar are called as Fordyce Spots .These are visible sebaceous glands seen on genitals in many individuals and does not signify any disease .
Normally they fade away without any treatment and does not need any active intervention.
Maintaining a proper personal hygiene by cleaning genital area with warm water helps to prevent from getting these spots .
