Ingrown Hair follicules?

Hi,
I noticed on the shaft of my penis the other day that I had 2 bumps that looked like regular zits. I had a couple of these before and wanted to ask what they might be. I just went to the doctor who is running tests on it. I popped one of them the other day and a hard white head came out of it and that was then end of it. I have never had any itching, there have never been any ulcers or open sores on my penis. I have never had any pain whatsoever and these things never caused me any pain. Wanted to see what you thought this might be based on what I said. I am waiting for my lab results and would love to hear a good opinion on this.
THank You!

These sound like the small cysts that are common in this location. I can't think of any lab tests which would be relevant, but I assume they will be OK. If your doctor isn't sure, you may want to ask a dermatologist or urologist, who should be able to tell you with certainty that these aren't anything to be concerned about (or pop!)
Best.
