What Could Be Small Flat Brown Spots On Penis Base?

My husband has suddenly developed these small flat brown spots on the base of his penis. They do not hurt or itch the skin doesn t look irritated or inflamed. They aren t wet or oozing anything. I have no signs or symptoms of any infections. He is 34 years old and in pretty good health.

Hello
Thanks for query,

You husband has developed what is called as Fordyce spots around base of the penis.
Skin in this area is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.
If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac).
