Bumps on penis

by shaneobree, Jul 16, 2001 12:00AM
I am 16 and since I was about 14, I've have small bumps on my penis. I've been told these aren't herpes or warts but are little hair folicles by a doctor. They look like little goosebumps, and only appear when my penis is stretched or erect. They are only underneath my penis. I've been fairly sexually active with girls but never let a girl see these bumps. I was wondering whether there was a cure for these bumps or some way to get rid of them?
Thanks a lot

No cure, because no disease.  These are normal penile anatomy.  You need to come to terms with them, because they are part of you.

Best.

Hi,
I have the bumps aswell, but mine are more like pimples. When I squeeze them, white puss (like pimples on the face) comes out. I'm quite sure this is an STD, I'm not quite sure exactly what it is, however. Can you be of some assistance?

I think i also have something like this. Only when the penis is erect do the bumps really show up, they're only on the shaft/foreskin, but i must admit, im pretty worried about what they in fact are...
And if u squeeze them, a pus kind of substance comes on, not much, in fact, very little.....
Im just really worried about this, so an answer would be much appreciated

Thanks.

i also have these bumps since i was around 12-14 im 17 now and have never had the courage to ask anyone i tend to froget about them but get really worried sometimes e.g now when i've found these forums, my bumps are on my balls and around the underneath of penis at base they are at the base of each pubic hair as far as i can work out, i dont know wether these are normal or not they are just white they never cause any irritation

i also have lumps on my penis but but they can be better distinguis better when the penis is erected.what concerns me is that when i sqeeze them they let out a puz just like pimples. This appear on the shaft of my penis in other words where the penis starts near the lower abdomen. I have not been that sexualy active.
