Subject: Re: [uncircumcized] White bumps lining crest/rim of penis under foreskin.... I am a 17 yr old male [uncircumcized] with small white raised bumps lining the rim of the penis head under the foreskin. Some of these bumps are enlongated (actually sticking out) and they are all close in proximity to eachother. No Pain/Problems ?? Any ideas? - Ryan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What you describe is a common finding called pearly penile papules, and found in 30% of men. They are most commonly seen in young males, uncircumcised persons, and individuals of African-American descent. They are essentially lined closely to each other over the edge of the corona (head of the penis). They are benign, and do not warrant treatment.
