Hello and welcome to HCM,
Fordyce spots are harmless skin structures caused by obstruction of sebaceous glands in the foreskin.
As mentioned by your treating doctor, they are harmless and require no treatment.
Infact there is no treatment for the condition.
Besides cosmetic implication, its presence will not harm you in any way.
You need to consult a cosmetologist for the lesion.
You can also consult a dermatologist if you do not find a cosmetologist.
Thanks and take care
