Hi
Red spots on the penis are very common and most do not have a serious cause. Red spots on the penis can be due to several causes. However, it seems from your description that you might be having Fordyce's spots. These are small, painless, raised, pale or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the glans, shaft or scrotum. They are harmless and appear in most adults, so there is no reason to panic. They may occur as a solitary lesion, but frequently appear in crops of 50 to 100. They are painless and not itchy. They generally cause embarrassment and sometimes fear that they might be sexually transmitted. They are actually abnormally dilated blood vessels, covered by thickened skin. They may bleed if injured or even during intercourse. They are not infectious and their cause is unknown.
Generally no treatment is advised but laser or electro-dessication methods are sometimes employed. You should consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Take care

Hello,

Without examination,it is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis,but they sound like Fordyce spots,follicles or pearly penile papules.

Pearly penile papules are multiple, small (about 1-3mm) papules running around the circumference of the crown of the glans penis. Fordyce spots are small,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.

All the three are painless and not itchy, but may cause embarrassment because of their appearance.They are found normally,so pls don’t worry about them.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and if you have any additional queries.
