You may want to visit with a dermatologist on this
They're actually benign and nothing to be concerned about. If they get large, they can be removed, but then you have risk of scarring and infection.

Fordyce spots are enlarged oil glands, they naturally occur and are harmless. They shouldn’t bother you. If you have discomfort, make sure it is not something else. See your OBGyn.
