Google fordyce spots and see if that fits.  If it doesn't, then see your doctor about it - could be genital warts.

Hey i checked out that place you told me, thats what they look like except mine are at the bottom of my penis and they are not really itchey or eritant? Is it the same thing?

Fordyce spots aren't usually itchy.  On the bottom?  Do you mean at the base or on the underside?

They are at the very bottom of my penis, lke near the scrotum. And they haven't been eritant, itchey anything like that.

I'd doubt its anything, but get it checked since its concerning you.

First, one should make sure it's not an std.

Or is it any of the following?
May be a
Sebaceous cyst?
Pearly Penile Papule?
any type of wart (example: moluscum (molluscum)), or any other skin infection?

Read up on it, but most of all, seek a dermatologist.


If it is a Sebaceous cyst, don't pop it. This is from wikipedia about Sebaceous cysts...
"Under no circumstances must one try to pop the cyst, as it can lead to infection of the surrounding tissue. The neck is a particularly dangerous region, due to the glands and blood vessels."

Also, this link is pretty informative if you want to find out more about the causes of Sebaceous cysts and whether you may have an infection or not.

One shouldn't pop a Pearly Penile Papule themselves I don't think....one should seek a physician about that
