Although you could probably have them removed by surgery, I doubt that would be either necessary or a good idea. Freckles or moles can appear on the penis as they can elsehwere, but if they are small and regular, they will as a rule not grow or turn into anything else. Also, they are not at all likely to multiply or become numerous. Just doesn't happen.
I suggest yoi show them to a dermatologist. If they are tiny blood vessels, he can possibly cauterize them, and if they make you self-conscious, you can consider that if the doctor thinks it's feasible. Otherwise, I would jsut leave them be.
Best.
