Brief Answer:
I suggest possibility of Fordyce spots; No active intervention is required

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I have gone through your query and I have noted down your complaints. I have also reviewed the Images.

In the Images I can see grouped, yellowish, minute bumps or grains on the undersurface of prepuce.
These are actually Fordyce spots. It is not an STD.

Fordyce spots are ectopic sebaceous glands ( ectopic because they happen to be at places where they normally should'nt be).
They may be found in clusters on labial mucosa in females and on the mucosal aspect of prepuce in males.
Fordyce spots can first appear or become more prominent at puberty under the influence of hormones.

Fordyce spots are mainly a cosmetic concern without any clinical significance and do not require more than an assurance that they are part of the normal anatomy in both males as well as females.

However, treatment if desired for cosmetic reasons is with either CO2 Laser vaporization or ablation with radiofrequency cautery.
