Light pink painless spots on foreskin

I am a virgin, uncircumcised male. For the last 1 or 2 years, I have had a cluster of tiny light pink spots on my foreskin(but not on glans). Apart from that bigger cluster, I also have a few rather isolated similar spots on foreskin. They are completely painless, and seem to have stayed the same since I discovered them. When I say tiny, I mean they're considerably smaller than regular Fordyce spots.

I am not sure if I am allowed to post photos, but I have found on Google Images something which looks similar to my spots: http://www.justanswer.com/dermatology/87efv-hello-doctor-last-year-diagnosed-fordyce-spots.html. However, my cluster is considerably smaller. From reading that thread, I'm not sure if they are Fordyce, milia, HPV or something else, so does anybody have any idea about this? Is there a treatment for them? Can I have HPV if I'm a virgin?

Firstly best bet is to go see a doctor, however embarrassing it is it will give you peace of mind.

These spots, if you were to squeeze one gently like you would with a spot/blackhead would you have any substance coming out of one? exactly like you would with a blackhead?  If so it's likely you have fordyce spots, another way of checking if you do is if you have them on your lips, they'll be alot smaller and may be in either a tight cluster in the corners of your mouth or have very few spaced out on the lip itself.

Milia, herpes and fordyce a doctor will be able to spot. (excuse the unfortunate pun) With treatment options varying from antiviral treatments for herpes to laser/Cryotherapy (freezing) for milia and laser/surgery for fordyce spots.

But googling things on the internet will worry you and make you jump to conclusions, so best idea is to see a doctor.
