Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as Sebaceous Cyst
.
The Penile skin is XXXXXXX in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation You may need to take antibiotic for couple of days if persists or increases in size you may need to get it excised under local anaesthesia by a general surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me I shall be happy to help you
Dr.Patil.
