In general from what I read about Fordyce spots they are for the most part non cancerous and need no specific care other than normal hygiene. You should not be picking at them or trying to squeeze them. The fact that you have one on your penis is a normal growth spot for a Fordyce spot.
Now for the one that has brown puss coming from it. This one needs to be seen by a doctor as it may have become infected. Puss should not be coming from them at least not brown puss as these spots are oily spots.
I would suggest seeing your primary care doctor first who may want you to see an urologist given where the spot is located. As for any type of sex with your girlfriend in the coming week(s). I would say it is best to forget about it as well as to try not to masturbate for now if masturbating rubs at the Fordyce spot. The less you do to aggravate the possible infection the better until you get it treated.
Given that you are 15 years of age under a law called HIPPA, which is a federal law. You do not have to tell your parents if you do not want to. Under this law you may make an appointment to see a doctor and be treated for this without parental consent or knowledge for the problem is related to your reproductive system. The HIPPA law gives anyone over the age of 14 total medical confidentiality over their reproductive system.
Parents cannot see you medical records regarding anything to do with your reproductive health without you expressed written permission and the doctors cannot discuss with them anything regarding your reproductive health without that written permission.

This was a new one for me, I had to go research online. Here's one of the articles i found.
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
In the article it indicates that the condition can be present at birth and that it may be hereditary. Though it doesnt look nice you need to learn how to deal with it as you will have it throughout your life. I wonder how you know about it. Did you find it online or see the family Dr. ? Self diagnosis is not good idea. If you learned through the doctor, you might want to ask your dr. what to do about the one spot. It sounds like it is infected. The article says to leave them alone and never try to squeeze the pus out. The condition can not be transfered to a female it seems like and should not cause any kind of reaction in her body. Since the skin was broken, its likely you now have an infection. I highly must stress that you stop touching the infected spot, not even consider any romantic ventures or blow jobs until you get this looked at. If you are too embarrassed to let parents know and see a family doctor, then please go to Planned Parenthood ASAP.
You need to be educated more on Fordyce and on how to care for yourself and likely need to be prescribed an antibiotic to get rid of the infection. Forget your date a week away. You may still see her but if it comes to getting undressed, I'd not recommend it until you have some solid information that you can provide a female with. If I was with a guy that had the condition, my initial reaction would be to wonderiing if it was a herpes outbreak which can be passed on, genital warts which a female CAN get from a guy, or something else that is not good for me. I would not do anything sexual at all with such a man even if he tells me what it is called until I see some paperwork from a Doctor with the Doctors determination that this male has Fordyce. I am in my 50's and I would be that cautious. Imagine how a young girl will react especially if its to be her first time with a guy? It is possible to have a good sex life with your condition because it cannot be passed to the lady and it is not painful to you...or it shouldn't be. If it is, then your skin being broken for whatever reason got infected.
It will be up to you to educate any female you meet about your condition once you seem to be getting to the point of being intimate. If the girl once educated about it still is repulsed or not understanding, then she isn't worth your time. Don't send her to the internet photo's to learn about it because not everyone posts correct pictures of what the condition looks like. Some really looked like warts to me and others like herpes. The best ammo you can be armed with for life will be a Doctors diagnosis of your condition with an explanation that it is harmless.
If I were you, that paper will be so important, I'd make copies and put the original in plastic page protectors. It may be difficult for you to ever in life have inpromptu sex with someone you just met because of this, but then again, who knows. The article says that a lot of teens today seem to have the condition so it may be more prevelant now due to something that has changed in our environment. As a nudist, i can say i have never seen that condition ever on the men and there are not many teens that attend nudist events. So I am guessing it must be something affecting the younger generations.
