I've noticed that the head of my penis has been affected by what looks like a fungus. There are tiny white dots on it, and the top skin seems to be slit or cut with small cuts. It's got me worried. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I've been on 30 mg of Accutane for about seven months now and my skin is definitely breaking out less, but I've started getting these painful bumps under my skin that are filled with a clear fluid, kinda like water. They seem to keep popping up on my forehead and chin. Just when one goes away, another one shows up somewhere else. Why is this happening and what can I do to get rid of them?
