Tiny foreskin bumps

Hi Doc, this is a question regarding tiny bumps on my inner foreskin. I've only had sex with two women in my entire life for a total of 5 times and I used protection everytime with both of them. Recently I noticed that when I stretch my foreskin out to see the inner moist area that covers my penis head, there seem to be lots of really tiny dots/bumps that are almost invisible unless the area is stretched and put under light. There seems to be a lot of these little bumps, however they are not visible when the foreskin is retracted. The area is reddish and these tiny bumps seem to be the same color. As Ive stated i'm uncircumcised and havent always retracted my foreskin to wash as is necessary until recently. Also most of the bumps seem to be in straight lines only located on inner foreskin area. Thanks

Hey I've been having the exact same thing. I noticed them the other day while in the restroom. Though, you did describe them being reddish, the bumps I have are more pinkish on my foreskin? I wanted to know if you (or anyone) ever got back the their results on their check ups?
Please, please, please, reply back soon. I need to know if these are treatable and if they are contagious!

Well    After reading all of this,feels good to know im not the only one, I too have little bumps on the inner part of my foreskin but also on the outside they're visible when the foreskin is stretched,but that not my only problem,my foreskin doesnt retract behind the head..and i know that there are excersizes for this,and circumsicion is an option...I wanted to know if the reason for the bumps could be because the head of my penis doesnt get cleaned properly because i cant retract the foreskin?

Well, I think your best option is to just get it checked.  It could be any of these things, or warts, even.

I looked up fordyce spots and these seem to appear on the outer skin layer of the shaft. the bumps that I have are located on the area of the inner foreskin if that makes any sense. It is the area that is not visible of the foreskin that is directly covering/above the penis head. These are on the moist area of the foreskin and are almost impossible to see unless you stretch the foreskin , then you see lots of tiny bumps that you cannot feel if I run my finger on them. there is a very large number of them, however they do not extend to the visible area of foreskin when it is not retracted.

OK I read the answer from Dr. Hook, and I agree with him.

You might also google fordyce spots and see if that fits the other spots.  Don't hesitate to see your doc about it though.

If you have questions after that, feel free to ask.
