Since you didn't mention your history regarding sex. If you had unprotected sex need to rule out STI.
If not it can be due to Acne, Fordyce spots - which develop when skin's pores are clogged with natural oil, called sebum, sweat, dead skin, it can also cause infection.
Skin tag – it's normal, happens in age advances Ingrown hair which is painful can leads to infection, needs medical management
Bullous Impetigo- bacterial infection due to bad hygiene or use of public pools, towels
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
