It is probably Fordyce's spots since you say it really isn't that noticeable. If they are Fordyce's spots, there is nothing to be done. There is no way to prevent them as they are thought to be sebacious glands. They are harmless, very common and most doctors refuse to treat them. Shower or wash as you always do as it has no impact at all.
The only treatment available is vaporizing laser therapy and, as I stated above, most doctors refuse to treat them. Believe it or not, Fordyce's spots are very common and very normal! Do not try to pop them or sqeeze them...it won't get rid of them and will only hurt the tissue of your penis.
Here is a photo to show you what they look like:

If this is not what they look like or you are still concerned, please see a urologist for a formal diagnosis.

There's a variety of things that they could be, most likely all normal. They're most likely pearly penile papules (usually around the head of the penis), Fordyce spots (wikipedia it for pictures) or simple hair follicles or sebaceous glands.
