penis bumps HPV? Warts?

by collapsable, Oct 10, 2008 12:17AM
I noticed a week or so after my first sexual contact a small little bump of sorts. Well its been 5 or so years since then and I've never seen a doctor for this or seen a doctor SINCE 01. The bumps only cover the sides of my penis shaft and they are different on both sides. They're pretty much the same color as the skin and seem to be underneath it, instead of a growth on top. Some of them when forced excrete a sort of kurd like white yellow stuff. I don't really have any syptoms (symptoms) that accompany this, and have been in good health since the first sign, with the occasionaly illness that affects everyone. I know I should of seen a doctor long ago, but I've never really had any reason to and this the problem was only on my mind occasionally as it didn't affect anything. So I'm just seeking a sort of assumption to what is causing this. Once again they started out as like individual and then very slowly progressed. No itching or burning no symptoms. They are sort of hard to discern unless you really look and they are sort of hard when rubbing the skin between fingers. At one time I totally just picked one til bleeding point and its tissue resemble that of a wart.

Hello,

From your symptoms these small bumps look like sebaceous cysts.Sebaceous glands are found all over the body where hair are there but on the thin, fine skin of the penis, sebaceous glands may be very prominent. Sebaceous cyst is a closed sac or cyst below the surface of the skin that has a lining that resembles the uppermost part (infundibulum) of a hair follicle and fills with a fatty white, semi-solid material called sebum produced by sebaceous glands of the epidermis.It is usually painless but can become painful if infected.Then antibiotics are needed.

Pls avoid picking them up as they may get infected.

If there is any itching involved,then allergic or contact dermatitis have to be ruled out.A consultation of a dermatologist is needed then.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and in case of additional queries.
