Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Thanks for writing to XXXXXXX
People often get scared when they find pimples on the penis but most of the time it is harmless.
In many people,Pimples are caused by skin irritation during masturbation,oral sex or during sexual intercourse. It can also be due to allergy from lubricants or mild bacterial infection. In this case the Pimples should be treated with antibiotic or steroid cream or usually they disappear on their own in couple of weeks. If they still persist than it's perhaps a condition which needs to be further investigated.
Get well soon.
Hope i have answered your query.
