Do they look a little like that?
Or like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hirsuties_papillaris_coronae_glandis.jpg
If so, you're in luck. You're worries are entirely aesthetic. Annoying, yes, but possible to live with. The first picture is of Fordyce's spots, the second is of pearly penile papules. Neither are dangerous to your health, nor are they transmittable. If not, I'd consider getting them checked out, just in case. Actually, it might not be a bad idea even if they do look like either of those pictures; better safe than sorry, no? I hope this helps.

They may just be pimples or clogged pores, which is common for many males to have, especially during the summer/hot months. How long have they been there?
