bumps on penis

by J.T., Aug 28, 2000 12:00AM

Tags: penis, Dermatology, skin care, cysts, penile, puberty

When I first started going through puberty, and for as long as I can remember I have had small white bumps on the shaft of my penis. They do not hurt when touched, and sometimes can be poped like a pimple. My question is what are these little white bumps and how can I get rid of them.

Thanks
J.T.

JT:

They sound like the kind of cysts which are common on the penile shaft. This is normal anatomy and nothing to be concerned about. Next time you're at the doctor, show him, to be sure.

Best.
