bumps under the skin on the shaft

by gene1782, Mar 30, 2009 12:47AM
Hi, I'm male 27 yrs old, sexually active, I was recently diagnosed with genital warts. At first I've noticed small bumps in groups on the shaft of my penis. My local urologist performed a surgery and had them removed with laser. About 2-3 months later started to notice them again, but this time there were also small tiny bumps under the skin of the shaft of my penis. Very small in size almost microscopic, upon squeezing the skin they felt like little rocks. This time the same doctor said that he had the lab examine the warts and determined that I also have microscopic warts that I wont be able to get rid off. As far as the under skin bumps, he told me not worry about them its just hair foils. Again sometime has past until i started to notice them again. This time I had consulted with local dermatologists, who performed similar laser surgery, and said that he has no idea what these under skin bumps can be, but also said not worry too much. Sometimes they,itch and I felt some sort of burning sensation a few times during sexual intercourse, also they got some sort of weird smell sometimes. Thus, when penis is erected, and skin is pulled, the under the skin bumps are not visible. Despite the doctors recommendations, I still cant sleep at night knowing that I have something none knows what it is.It even looks like to me that every time new warts appear from one of these tiny ones from under the skin. I tested for HIV, hpv all sexually transmitted disease, the results thank god came back negative. This is really embarrassing for me...Anyone has any ideas what it could be, and how to get rid of it? Also, having a dry skin, and small rash on the arms and chest has any affects on this at all? Will they ever go away completely? Is there real cure for genital warts?

Thanks,

Google fordyce spots and see if that fits.  If that's it, and none of the doctors recognized it, they should be ashamed.  I don't think these are all warts.

The other symptoms shouldn't have anything to do with this, but it might be something you want to get checked out.  Rashes don't appear for no reason.

Thank you for identifying it for me, fordyce exactly fit the description of what I have, and unfortunately some doctors nowadays are more concerned primarily with $$ over everything else they're supposed to be doing. Is there a way to get rid of fordyce? Is there OTC medicine available to treat it?

Thanks a lot, you've been very, very helpful
