tiny bumps on penis, on each follicle

by dewy20, Aug 29, 2006 12:00AM
I have recently noticed tiny bumps on my penis at the base of pretty much every hair follicle.  Ive had these bumps on my scrotum for as long as can remember, but never on the shaft of my penis or not that Ive noticed.  

They are flesh coloured and dont appear to be filled with any puss.
Every bump has a hair growing out of it. They seem to appear more numerous after masturbation.  

Any thoughts of what this may be.

Yes.  They are cysts.  They belong there and mean nothing.  They may have become more prominent, or maybe you just noticed them.  Show your doctor next time you go, for confirmation.

Best.
