Hello and welcome to HCM.
These white spots may appear as a result of blocked or swollen sweat glands pores.They are called Fordyce spots.It is normal for some males to have them.They are not contagious.They may sometimes diminish with age.
Undergoing a laser treatment procedures may help.
If it is associated with itch,or bumps become fluid filled,bleed,presence of any discharge,you may visit a good dermatologist to rule out any other possibilty.
Thanks
