Concerned about white points

[abcde]

I have always had hair follicles along and around the shaft of my penis.  But recently (about 3 weeks ago and about 2 or 3 weeks after the condom broke while intercourse...), I noticed these very small, pin sized white points around the bottom 30% of my shaft.

Many have hair growing out of them, some are very thin, others more coarse.  Those I figure are indeed hair follicles.  However, the ones with no hair freak the living daylights out of me.  I am afraid that they are warts, and since they are on the shaft (dry area), I have read that they are more pin sized and not cauliflower like.  I am also circumsized.

Is it normal to have hair follicles with no hair in the above mentioned area?  could they be cysts? sebasceous glands or is it what I think they may be.

I have applied vinegar and they do not get more white, and no other area "lights up".  Finally, when I stretch my shaft, they show more, yet they are almost unrecognizable when I am fully erect.

Please help!

i have the same prob but i'm too scared to see a doctor about them? i might get an errection while shes touching my balls/penis and i'm too inbarest? plz help

Thanks Doc... But these do not seem to have anything in them (as in, something can be squeezed out of a cyst but not a wart).

Finally, they stand out more when I "compress" the shaft.  

They are very small, as in less than 1 mm, but are not rough and not really pointy, more flat.  Any ideas?

These are cysts and therefore normal penile anatomy--you just noticed them at a significant time, which is why they're worrying you.  Next time you see your doctor, show them, so you can get definitive assurance.

Best.
