I am wondering whether you coated your entire penis with something immediately prior to you taking these photos, such as Baby oil or Coconut Oil?
have you ever had sexual contact with anyone? have you ever had a medical professional take a look at these?
What age are you?
.
Simply put, the bumps you have are quite normal, many people refer to these are Fordyce Spots - what is highly unusual is the presentation of them, and this is why I ask about the oil .....

hey wee__dugie, yes its coconut oil. my penis was extremely dry at one point of time so i figured coconut oil would help. yes I've had sexual contact but in a healthy way, as in using protection. I'am 22 years old and as far as i could remember i've always had these bumps. when i have intercourse the bumps get irritated and start itching. Anything i could do to get them removed ??

Most, as I say would describe these as Fordyce Spots, so no they are normal and you cannot get rid of them.
Irritation and itchiness is caused by something the skin of you penis has been in contact with: so following sex, this could be the likes of the lube and other chemicals on the inside of a condom, or merely due to that fact that you have washed your skin.
In terms of causes of irritated penile skin, things like soap and shower gel is the most common cause - be mindful that during sex or masturbation the skin of the penis, particularly of the upper-shaft and head area experience a great deal of friction.
This means that chemicals in the likes of soap, shower gel and other body wash, and condoms have an much greater chance of causing problems during and immediately after sex or masturbation.
What you can try for a few months is simply washing your penis with water only and make sure it is fully dried afterwards. When you shower obviously do not apply soap or shower gel directly to your penis, try to avoid as far as possible soap and shower gel draining onto your penis when you wash elsewhere.
At the end of a shower always finish by fully rinsing your genital and groin region with warm, NEVER hot running shower water - then when you get out make sure the entire groin and genital region is fully dried.
You can then apply a very light coating of the Coconut Oil, which is all that is required to give benefit to your penile skin.

Unfortunately, what you are asking varies from penis to penis. On some these will eventually fade as men age, others will stay fairly consistent throughout life.
The only thing you can do is to try all means to irritate them less, and therefore make them less noticeable.
What I saw clearly in your first set of photos was that you had applied far too much oil before taking the images. Try experimenting with the tiniest amount of the Coconut Oil - or perhaps simply take a complete break from using it for 3 to 5 months and see what happens.
Once you wash and dry your penis without using things like soap and shower gel on it you may eventually no longer need the Coconut Oil, or can apply it only 1 or 2 times per-week
