I am wondering if you can remember a time when the head (glans) of your penis did not look like this?
The skin on the head has a very 'textured' appearance, but these are certainly not Pearly Papules as these appear on the rim / corona of the head of the penis only.
Can I ask, are you a sports person who sweats a great deal due to physical effort? I ask this because one of the ways skin takes on a textured or wrinkled appearance is if it is wet a great deal of the time.
The only thing I can suggest is to try to restore the natural pH balance in the skin of the head of your penis. As you are circumcised this may not be easy to do. What you need to learn is how to be 'skin friendly' to your penile skin.
So, do not apply soap or things like shower gel and body wash directly to the head area of your penis. When you take a shower always use this two step process: wash everywhere else on your body, no soap or cleansers applied to the head are of your penis - at the end of the shower spend some time rinsing away any trace of the soap (and other cleansers you may have used) from the head area of your penis. Rub the head with the inside of your hand. Once you get out of the shower you must make sure the skin of the penis is completely dried.
The other thing you can try is to get some liquid Coconut Oil, it does not need to be an expensive one, and simply apply this to the head area of your penis after fully drying your penile skin at the end of a shower.
If you answer the questions I have asked I may be able to help you further ..................... ?

First, thanks to your reply, i appreciate that
May be the glans didn't looking like that 10 years ago , gradually it became like that. I thought it is normal so i neglect it.
Yes , i am a kind of sports person i get sweat too much so i had showers with soap often.
Thanks , i hope you help me further if you can , i will follow your steps but do you think with your experience it will return to normal or will be useful?

With erection , glans appears as small projections(papules) with normal skin in between , on this side only , the back of glans is normal in shape no projections.

Hello Karem, thanks for your replies. Looking at the photo again I can see why you are calling these Papules - I have done an internet search to see whether pearly papules can cover the entire main part of the head of the penis but have drawn a blank on this. (Can any other readers confirm whether this is possible?!)
What you have going on with the head of your penis does seem rather unusual but only a genital health specialist would know whether this is quite common or relatively rare.
Depending on whether you can access Medical Specialist easily or not, the best Specialist for you to consult would be a Urologist, or perhaps a Dermatologist Specialising in Genital Skin Health.
If you think I can help you any further by all means simply reply to this post .....

It is possible for PPP to spread to glans or even foreskin, little bit below corona... However I have never heard of it being possible to cover whole glans, which again might be possible but those are VERY rare cases i guess.

I don't think you would get PPP on the glans (but is possible I suppose) but certainly not on the foreskin. As you say, unfortunately it is difficult to find photographic examples of the rather unusual cases of naturally occurring physical phenomena such as PPP - as we would then be able to tell what is actually possible ...

I have heard of maybe 1 or 2 cases of it expanding to foreskin and few where PPP appeared on parts of glans, but all of them had normal PPP at corona. According to what i heard it is very rare case. But again its something you hear of and see just as pictures, so how true it is, it is hard to determine.
