Hi harold872,

First I want to commend you for your choice to stay abstinent. That is wonderful news with all of the diseases floating around out there.

A few years back, a 1 year old was taken in because his mother noticed a "bug bite" on her son's scrotum. The physician told her it was "nothing" and sent them home with antibiotic creams as to prevent infection. She took him in two more times and the "bug bite" continued to grow rapidly and the physician still said it was "nothing to be concerned with". The lump became so large, the baby couldn't wear a diaper. She took him to the hospital where tests were run and he was quickly diagnosed with a malignant tumor. Unfortunately, the baby passed away about a month later from complications and you said it: waiting too long. Needless to say, that physician is no longer a physician and is probably out of about a million or more dollars; however, no amount of money can replace your children.

I would take this very seriously if I were you. I am in no way saying this is your situation, but you never know. Better safe than sorry. Good luck!!

Hello,
From the symptoms it sounds like Fordyce spots. They are small, painless, raised, bumps that appear on the shaft of the penis. The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland and are not known to be associated with any disease or illness. They are non-infectious and a natural occurrence on the body.

They should be got removed only for cosmetic reasons as they are normally found on the penis. Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
