Brief Answer:
Fordyce spots

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photographs.

These spots are enlarged sebaceous glands.
These are called as fordyce spots.

There is nothing to worry as these spots are totally normal and would subside on their own.

There is no relation with masturbation.

Just relax.

Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
