small bumps on penis

Ok so like 2 months ago I noticed these small bumps on my penis. There are 6 of them and they are the same color and it doesn't look like genital warts. Last month i picked one and it didnt hurt but it did bleed for about 15 minutes. They don't hurt at all otherwise and I don't even notice they are there unless I look at them. I want to know what they are and if I should see a doctor about them. It started out as like 3 but everytime I picked one it seemed to add one. I've had one partner and she is is clean she was checked for everything when she got pregnant with our child.

Hello,

Pimples like bumps on the penis can be a normal physiological change like Fordyce spots or due to blocked hair follicle, oil glands, lympohocoel, sebaceous cyst, sexually transmitted diseases like warts etc. Maintain good genital hygiene by cleaning with soap and water, don’t try to squeeze the pimple. Applying ice would reduce redness, pain or swelling. See a dermatologist if problem persists for more than 1-2 weeks.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
