Suggest Treatment For Small Brown Dots Raised Above The Penis Skin

Hi, today when I took a shower I noticed that on the foreskin of my penis there were about 6 or 7 very small brown dots raised above this skin forming a circle shape around my penis hole. I haven't had sex in months, and this is the first time I have noticed it. The spots do not hurt and there is no discharge.

Hello
Thanks for query .

The brown spots on your foreskin are mostly what is called as Fordyce's Spots ..
Normally the sebaceous glans all over the body drain a oily liquid in to hair follicle .However in this case few of these glands called as Accessory sweat glands drain in to below the skin instead of draining in to hair follicle and form a dark spots termed as Fordyce's spots .

Normally they fade away without treatment .

Observe proper personal Hygiene by washing your genital with soap water twice daily.
