Brief Answer:
Pearly penile papules

Detailed Answer:
I have seen the photographs you have uploaded. In one of the photograph I can see tiny red coloured round bumps around the coronal margin of the glans. These are pearly penile papules which is a normal variant present in upto 10- 50 percent of the males. They are harmless and require no treatment but if they are causing you psychological distress you can consider going for cryotherapy, electrosurgery or laser treatment.
I hope to have answered your query.
Wish you good luck.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
I don't think you have to worry about them as according to your history and symptoms they don't seem to be something important. Just keep a watch on them; if their number or size increases or they cause any symptoms we can consider testing for them probably by doing a biopsy. For the time being you don't have to take stress about them.
