Hi,

Some bumps and lumps on the penis may actually be benign normal structures like sweat glands, hair follicles and blood vessels. In your case, a differential will be pearly penile papules and blocked sweat glands. Pearly penile papules are benign structures which may persist for quite some time."Pearly penile papule (PPP) present on the coronal sulcus of the glans penis with monomorphic 1-2 mm flesh colored smooth papules. They may present during late adolescent and may be clinically confused with genital warts. The lesions are asymptomatic...." The coronal sulcus refers to the base of the penile head and monomorphic refers to the uniformed shapes of the papules.

To allay your worries, you may have an initial consult with your urologist or dermatologist. This does not sound very urgent given an absence of a significant sexual history. Do not unnecessarily touch or pick on the bumps as this may only introduce an infection.
