Sometimes, the penis gets tiny bumps because the skin is having an allergic reaction to something. It could be soap, even the soap used to wash your clothing; it may be something you are rubbing on your skin and don't realize it is causing the bumps. Also, the penis can get clogged pores as well, so that there are tiny white/black heads on the skin.

You didn't mention if the bumps itched or hurt, so I am assuming they are just normal skin eruptions.

Please feel free to write back to ask more questions if you need more answers about this issue. Sorry I have been slow. The holiday season is hard for me to catch up on everything I have to do.
