New Veins?

I have recently acquired a growth on my penis shaft that looks almost like some new veins. Is it possible for this to even happen?

Hello,
The veins that you have noted on epnis could be varicose veins.Development of new veins is not possible.It is generally that the old veins when varicosed are seen as bulding vein or new veins.
The varicose vein on the penis does not require any treatment. It may bruise during sexual intercourse and thus wearing of a condom is highly recommended.Also use of lubricants is recommended during masturbation or during sexual intercourse to avoid bruising the vein. No other treatment is required.In fact most of the treatment like laser treatment will cause scarring,infection,nerve and vascular damage.So in my opinion,you should leave them as such.
I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.
