bumbs on shaft of penis

by pmopey, Jan 13, 2007 12:00AM
i know that the white bumps on my balls is nothing to worry about.  i started getting the bumps that everyone was talking about when i was 14 or so but since then they have been getting further and further up my shaft of my penis.  they located on both SIDES of my penis about an inch or so from the head of my penis and all the way down to the base, there is no pain, no itch , nothing.  you can really only see them when i am hard.they grow very slowly but it seems like every once in awhile there a new one there. theres about 20 of them or so on each side. they look just like the onces i have on my balls, maybe a little bit smaller. i just would like to now if this is anything to worry about or am i just worrying for nothing?

They sound like exactly the same kind of cysts people get on the scrotum.  Show a doctor next time you, and basically forget about them.  They're common and normal.

Take care.

right so there are little bumps and they have being there for a while i just thought they were roots of hairs that popped up and there was this one that was quite big and had a little yellow ontop so i squeezed it and stuff came out , just like a spot.. and then nothin happened for months and then it came up again the other day and it just puffed up and became red so i fugured out i should leave it like stop, masterbaiting for a while i mean it isn't massive but it is cuasing concern i'm 16 and i'm a virgin so it can't be an STD, it just has me worried.. and  these tiny bumps will women notice them and freak out or what??

hi,

im scared becuase i have these bumps on my face and penis. they are the same as my skin color, and dont really swell up. they are kinda small bumps n when i pop them by squeezing them this white pus comes out. and they dont go away they seem to spread when they are poped. this has been goin on for along time.. sence i was 12. but they were only around my mouth. n im a virgin. so i dont think its an STD is it ? im just need to know if i should get medical help or something. at first i thought it was acne or something but im not sure. plz get back to me A.S.A.P. thanks.
