Looks like an irritated Fordyce spot.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query and picture. It looks like an irritated Fordyce spot. Fordyce spots are modified sebaceous prominences and are harmless. There is nothing to worry as you didn't had any sexual contact before.

Applying aloe Vera gel is helpful for this. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area and instead you can use saline or warm water. If this is not helping then i would recommend using ointments containing anti fungal agents like miconazole, anti bacterial like gentamycin and corticosteroid like beclamethasone for local application.

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