Brief Answer:
Fox Fordyce Spots; Reassurance

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Most likely they will be 'Fox Fordyce's Spots' or Milia.
Rare possibility of Viral Warts (if you have been sexually active).
Please google images & see if it fits into my diagnosis.
If so, leave it alone..benign & nothing to fear & please do close this query & carry on enjoying your life responsibly.
If not, please either post a clear digital image of the region on this site or go across to a dermatologist nearest you using this HCM site to source one. If in XXXXXXX most welcome to XXXXXXX Hospital.
Good Luck & Godspeed.

Brief Answer:
Either Molluscum or Sebaceous overactivity

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Got it.
Have you been sexually active? If so, the ones at the base (foreskin region) appear to be a viral infection called Molluscum contagiosum & needs to be removed with your local dermatologist & is a simple procedure. So best to visit a dermatologist nearest you. Use this HCM site to source one. If in XXXXXXX you can find me at XXXXXXX Hospital.
The tiny dots on the head (what we call corona of the penis) are what I stated earlier..Fox Fordyce's spots. Nothing to be done for this..leave alone.
Trust this has answered your question & given you a clear direction. Apologies, I could not see your images until this morning.
Good Luck & Godspeed.
