Hi. I can understand your concern. According to your statement you have been suffering from pimples on your penis for the past few months. Pimples can develop on the penis as they are common elsewhere on the body. Pimples are resulted from blockage of the sebaceous gland of the skin due to excess sebum or debris or dead skin. Sebaceous glands excess secretion of oil (sebum) can develop pimples. For the prevention of pimples, you should avoid excess sweat-producing activities, wear loose clothes for preventing them from frictions, take bath regularly, and do not rub your affected area. You can use topical retiniods, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, etc. Without any medications they are also disappeared with passing of time by keeping personal hygiene strictly.
