Brief Answer:
Most likely Fordyce spots.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely Fordyce spots. These are modified sebaceous prominences. They are harmless and nothing to worry.
If you send a close picture of it then it will be more helpful in identifying.

Taking more garlic and antioxidants and applying aloe vera gel locally is helpful to get rid off this. Avoid greasy and sweaty environment in genital area as this can also increase its occurrence.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
