UNDERSIDE OF SHAFT OF PENIS PROB?

[RUTHAFORD]

DR ROCKOFF      THE UNDERSIDE OF MY PENIS WHEN FLACID  LOOKS  NORMAL.  THE  TOPOGRAPHY IS A MAZE OF  CRINKLES ETC.  BUT WHEN I STRECH THE SKIN AND LOOK AT IT  CLOSELY WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS,  THERE SEEMS TO BE IN ONE AREA WHAT LOOKS LIKE A MAP OF DIFFERENT SHAPED  TINY RAISED ISLANDS. SOME TINY. SOME A LITTLE BIGGER.  LIKE IF YOU WERE LOOKING AT A TINY MAP OF A GROUP OF ISLANDS.    WHEN I LET GO OF THE SKIN,  ALL THE LITTLE ISLAND LIKE SHAPES  BECOME THE NORMAL TOPOGRAPHY OF THE BACK OF MY PENIS   I SHOWED THEM TO MY DERM A VERY RESPECTED DOCTOR,  AND HE SAID . THEY DO  NOT LOOK LIKE  WARTS. HE'S SEEN TONS OF THEM.    I HAD A SMALL WART YEARS AGO AND HAVE BECOME OBSESSED WITH GETTING THEM OR GIVING THEM TO SOMEONE.  HE SAID  THAT WART'S SHOW UP QUITE CLEARLY AND THESE THINGS WHEN NOT STRETCHED GO BACK INTO THE SKIN AND FORM THE NORMAL FOLDS, WARTS DON'T DO THAT.      HE SAID LEAVE IT ALONE IF IT WAS A WART IT WOULD SHOW UP VERY CLEARLY.     SO  OF COURSE I KEEP LOOKING AT THEM IN THE MAGNIFYING GLASS AND DRIVING MYSELF NUTS .   HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OF THESE LITTLE FLAT WITH BUMPS ON THEM,  ISLAND  LIKE  THINGS THAT I AM DESCRIBING?        THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.   AND I KNOW THROW THE MAGNIFYING GLASS AWAY.

Yes, please throw away the magnifying glass.  You are looking at your penis way too closely.  I agree with your dermatologist, and have seen many such small bumps.  They represent normal penile anatomy and mean nothing.

Take care.
