Brief Answer:
Appears to be "Scabies" infestation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome again and thanks for posting your details with pictures.
I can understand your concern for the pimple like structures on the head and shaft. After analyzing your query with diligence it appears to be "Scabies" infestation.
To tell you about Scabies: It is a parasitic infestation by a mite. It is specifically manifested as crawling sensation all over the body but particularly over web spaces of hands, arm pits, around nipples, abdomen, over thighs but most specially over genital area.
In many a cases it starts from genital area and other above mentioned areas are not affected because of good hygiene. There are multiple small bumps on the shaft of penis and glans. There is typical itching all through the day and is typically worse at night time.
The bit prominent areas of skin color on the lower side of penis are the prominent oil glands and therefore there is nothing to be worried for the same.
It can be treated very simply. In my patients I prefer the overnight application of "Permethrin" 5% lotion or cream below neck area. Once you apply it gives complete relief. Just check for the itching in other partner or family members.
For the part of itching you can follow the suggestions below:
-Do not scratch or rub the skin as it can lead to further aggravation.
-You can take oral anti histamine like loratadine or levocetrizine under medical advice.
Hope these informations will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to help.
"With good health wishes"
