Bumps on penis

[bob]

For about 7 months I have noticed 5 small bumps on my penis. 4 on one side and 1 on the other. They dont seem to be growing, or they dont pain. They are the same colour as my skin and are 1/32 to 1/16" in size.  I am 29 and sexually active with the same girl for 5 years. What are they and how can I get rid of them or should I worry??

Bob:

These bumps may be a form of wart, though not necessarily a venereal one.  My advice is to show them to a doctor, so you can be either reassured that they can stay there, or if necessdary just have them removed.  Your doctor will be able to tell you whether your girlfriend should be checked internally as well.

So don't worry!

Best.

Dude, I have had those little itchy bumps for like 3 years, and I've like never had sex.  No one has even seen my wang, let alone give me some disease...so I don't know where the hell they came from.  Should I go to a dermatologist or a regular doctor or what?  I don't want them to think I'm some raunchy *****.  Someone tell me what to do.  ***@****
