Is this just below your foreskin? Are you circumcised? It's normal although usually is there and doesn't form. It's especially common for those with a lot of pigment in their skin. But penile melanosis is pretty common as well. This is pigment showing up as brown spots or areas on the penis. It's benign and harmless. Have your doctor look at it though. https://www.healthline.com/health/penile-melanosis
Hi,
This could be - pearly penile papules or fordyce spots. You would need to consult your doctor for a confirmed diagnosis.
'Pearly penile papules are multiple, small (about 1-3mm) papules running around the circumference of the crown of the glans penis. They typically develop in men aged 20 to 40, and around 10 per cent of all men are affected. They may be mistaken for warts, are not infectious and require no treatment.'
'Fordyce spots are small (1-5mm) bright red or purple papules that can appear on the glans, shaft or scrotum and usually affect younger men. They may occur as a solitary lesion, but frequently appear in crops of 50 to 100. They are painless and not itchy, but may cause embarrassment because of their appearance, or a fear that they might be sexually transmitted. '
