What Could Be The Dark Spots All Over Pubic Bone Which Looks Like Clogged Pores?

My boyfriend has these spots all over his pubic bone that appear to be clogged pores. They are dark, blackish looking, and I can sort of pop them ( they lay flat, no raised, but I can push my two nails together over a spot and force stuff out) what comes out is a solid almost teardrop shaped thing with a black tip, like a black head. But he has tons of them in his pubic hair, and recently I ve noticed that they have started to spread to his butt cheeks. He s had them for at least 9 months. He asked a doctor at one point, and the doctor just said it was a fungus. But I ve looked it up and can t seem to find any fungal infections that match what he has.

Hello
Thanks for query .

Multiple spots with black heads popping out on squeezing are mostly what are called as Fordyces spots.

These are accessory sebaceous glads located in genital area .

Normally they do not need any treatment as they get resolved over a period of time .

One has to observe proper personal hygiene by cleaning the affected area by warm water twice daily .
