Hello,
Treatment of Fordyce spots includes CO2 laser or electro desiccation, TCA chemical peels(temporary treatment),diathermy or laser vaporization. You can consult a dermatologist and discuss which one is the best for you.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

so how do i get rid of them? or would they just go away.

Hello,
It can be due to Fordyce spots or pearly penile papules. Fordyce spots are small, painless, raised, pale or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the shaft of the penis. The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland, and are not known to be associated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic concern only.  Both are non-infectious and natural occurrence on the body. Hence please do not worry about them.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
