  • Since we can't see the dots, it's all speculation on our part.

    My guess would be either:
    - Pearly Penile Papules: tiny harmless spots running around the bottom of the penis head. They look like this...

    or

    - Fordyce's spots (if it's on the skin covering the penis, rather than the head of the penis) which are a common and natural result of sebaceous glands on the penis.
    They look like this....

    However, there are many other possibilities. If you are uncertain, and neither of my suggestions match the white dots you've described, I suggest seeing a doctor. This article has further information on other types of spots that can be found on the penis:
