Hi there! I am 17, male! Some days ago I noticed weird little lumps underneath the foreskin.
I asked my older brother if he had them as well and he said no, but that he heard of these little pimples called something like Fordyce or something. What are they and is there a way to treat them!

Those little spots you found are called 'Fordyce's spots' and they are completely normal for teenagers and usually no treatment is necessary. It would be best if you didn’t pick or squeeze them and to maintained good hygiene. All this considering you haven’t had unsafe sex cos these 'Fordyce's spots' are usually confused with genital warts which is a STD cos they are very similar. Warts usually ‘attack’ the head of the penis but can involve the shaft of the penis and scrotum as well. If this is the case, you should pay a visit to an urologist to determine where the lumps are coming from!!!
