Brief Answer:
Looks like fordyce spots.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query and pictures. It looks like fordyce spots. These are harmless. They modified sebaceous prominences. STD s are most unlikely as you don't have any symptoms like itching or pain.

Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area. You can use saline or warm water. Applying aloe vera gel will be helpful also.

Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
