I can't access your photo. These are most likely folliculitis (blocked follicles.) They may also be molluscum contagiosum--viral growths that are not regular genital (HPV) warts and are often not sexually-transmitted. In order to know for sure, you will need to show them to a doctor in person.
Thanks.
