Smell red bumps over penis head. Normal?

Hi guys,

I am a 20 year old male. I have only ever received oral sex 3-4 times.

I notice that I have very tiny raised skin colored bumps over the head of my penis, they don't really stretch around to the sides of my penis head though. Could someone please tell me if this is normal?

You can only see them when you look very close. I could supply a picture but I'm not sure if pictures are allowed on this forum?

Many thanks

these don't sound like genital warts at all.

see your provider if you need the peace of mind.

But if they were some form of wart, they would have grown wouldn't they?

these are most likely normal.

call off the crotch watch and get a better hobby than checking out your naughty bits with a flashlight :)

Yeah I know I do worry lots. :/ Just when looking really close up they look weird, kinda of wartey and lots of them although I'm 95% certain they're not wart related as they would have grown by now considering I've had them for a long time.

Should I be this worried?

sweetie if you need a flashlight to see these, then you have far too much time on your hands that  you are using to check out your genitals instead of using it more wisely!!!

Thanks for the reply.

It does seem that they are raised though and not perfectly flat. They are very hard to see unless I look very close with a flashlight.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't think you could get pearly penile papules or fordyce spots on the actual head of the penis though??

Many thanks

odds are these are normal. pearly penile papules as well as fordyce spots are the most likely causes of these symptoms.

no, pictures are not allowed as is explained in our read before posting post located under the important announcements tab.
