They're clogged pores. Go sit in a hot bath or hold a hot washcloth to them. They won't pop right away but they do go away and heat does help.
These are blocked sweat glands. If they get too big they can be removed under local anasthetic as a day case in hospital. I have had two removed, but doc said they cant keep doing that and just to leave them alone. If I feel one starting, I can normally get it out before it gets bigger. They wont pop on their own, they dont go away, but grow bigger. Thats exactlly what happens.
I thought I would add this link to this post, I was searching for something that I thought was what you all were talking about and it wasnt it was what's in the link above. Hope this helps some people.

The same thing.on the same side. they are really itchy and they hurt like CRAZY.i havent done anything bad like anything at all.im worried what are they.

what if they itch?
I have them too, But I went to the doctor (ps. i'm 14 also) But she said they are just glogged up pours and are harmless, unless they ich.
I have had them to. I got mine to pop. And it was just blood
I'm 15 and I have the same as you, I don't think they can cause cancer and they are probably just the blocked pores like 98% of the comments have said. I don't worry about mine but I make sure I clean near them properly and take baths often so you could try doing that too? It might also be because of our hormones or puberty as we are still young and still growing
Are they itchy or do they bother you?
Me too. I'm a youngin, but I haven't even got my period yet and I'm scared to go to that place for the checkups when I start and then the man say like "oh sh** that's cancer alright" or like judge me in some way for having this thing but it seems other people also have a dot or dots. Should I ask my mom?
This helps a lot thank you! But how do I get rid of them?
