Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have
multiple white headed pimples on shaft of your penis.
Most likely these are sebaceous cysts.
The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

As some of these cysts are red and painful it indicates infection .Please take broad
spectrum antibiotics for a week .It should get cured with antibiotics.

If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac).
