Brief Answer:
Nothing to be worried at all

Detailed Answer:
hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts and photographs that you have uploaded you have small Sub Mucous Cysts over glans penis .

The re are abundant mucus secreting glands in glans penis which secrete mucus which helps to keep glans moist to prevent from drying up .

These cysts develop due to blockage of the duct resulting into collection of mucus what is called as Sub mucus Cysts .

Normally these cysts fade away and do not require treatment .

Ensure to wash your genital with warm water twice daily .

They are not cancerous at all.Do not worry about them .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
