Thank you for the additional information,

I suspect that you are describing Fordyce's spots. These are sebaceous glands that form small, painless white or pale bumps on the penis and scrotum.

They are completely harmless and not contagious.
They do not need to be treated. However, if you desire treatment, you can see a urologist (specializes in male and female urinary tract) who may be able to prescribe creams such as Tretinoin gel or laser treatments.

The other, less likely possibility is that you have warts which are usually fleshy colored raised bumps.

Here is more information regarding Fordyce's spots:

Answer

It is prescription only.
It can be fairly irritating to the genital area, that is why it needs to be prescribed by a doctor.
It is a very common condition.

Answer

I have never heard of it but simply by googling it, it has numerous complaints that it does not work.

The problem really is the fact that the glands are there. Not that they overproduce sebum.
So a sebum controller is not going to get rid of the underlying problem of the glands themselves.
