Sebaceous Prominence ?

Sebaceous Prominence ?


So I went to the dermatologist today for clusters of tiny bumps that recently have become quite apparent on the underside of my penis. The Dermatologist looked at them for about 30 seconds told me they were not std related. However he had also told me that there was nothing they could do or prescribe to me that would help. That is unacceptable, I'm sorry for the urgency but these bumps have put my life on hold and I would really like a solution. From the research I've done I'm fairly sure I have sebaceous prominence and that it is stubborn to get rid of but is there anything, anything at all that could treat or at least reduce the appearance of these things be it temporarily or permanently? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be sebaceous prominence or irritated hair follicles. Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
