Hello dear
Understand your concern.

If it is not change in color, pain sensitivity,no blood: it is harm less.
But you have to examine it repeatedly.

Following are the causes of your problem:
1. Fordyce spots
These are tiny purple, found on the head of the penis or the shaft.
They are normal minute sebaceous glands and are just part of the natural structure of many penises.
There's absolutely no need for any treatment.

2. Pearly papules
They usually appear around the glans (head) of the penis in a row.
they don't need any treatment.
But if you really want them removed for cosmetic reasons, this is sometimes possible.
3.Hair follicles injury

Others factor that is associated with it

1. Hygiene problem: If you not wash penis area, segma that is deposited under fore skin irritate penile area and produce reaction
2. Balanitis

3. Thrush, psoriasis, skin sensitivity or allergy to a product used on the penis
4. overuse - as in too frequent, too long or too rough sexual activity

Take following advice]
- Avoid excessive masturbationsex till you get better
- Showering after a workout, changing underwear, using a clean towel to dry off with and not redressing until the area is completely dry
- Use formula- Man 1 Man Oil-contain:
with vitamins, minerals and shea butter- it moisturizes the skin and prevents flaking or cracked skin while revitalizing and enhancing the sensitivity of the penis


Hope this may help you.
Best regards
