Brief Answer:
Prominent sebaceous glands; Normal anatomic variation

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have understood your query and I have also reviewed the Image.

I can see multiple, discrete, yellowish-white, pin-head sized, slightly raised bumps on the skin of shaft of penis.
These are prominent sebaceous glands shining through the thin skin of penile shaft.
This is a normal anatomic variation and commonly seen in many males, therefore, there is nothing to be concerned about.
Better to simply ignore them.
These are not due to masturbation.

Brief Answer:
Treatment if desired for cosmetic reasons is with CO 2 Laser vaporization

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Treatment is usually not required and most patients are just happy and relieved to know that this is a normal anatomic variation.
However, treatment if desired for cosmetic purposes involves Vaporization of individual bumps with a CO 2 Laser, under local anesthesia.
You may contact a dermatologist in your vicinity and inquire about the procedure.
