ANSWER
Whitehead spots could be a variety of normal and abnormal skin conditions. Some normal conditions include sebaceous or epidermal cysts. Abnormal but a very common cause of raised bumps could be genital warts. Yeast infections, eczema, and psoriasis are other common conditions that can cause spots or bumps and come and go.

Only a doctor can make a diagnosis and some doctors are better at making the correct diagnosis than others. A skin specialist or dermatologist has special training in diagnosing conditions of the skin. STD specialists are also quite experienced in diagnosing skin conditions of the genitals.
