White bumps and large red bump on penis

by EYEve, Apr 22, 2009 08:03PM
I dont really know what this is? I have numerous small white bumps (not painful) all over the outside of my penis (but not on my glans. There is also a large, pimple-like bump on the base of my penis.


What is this?

Dude, I'm no expert, but it sounds like herpes or warts.  You should definitely see your doctor and don't have intercourse until you do.

HI,

Can you elaborate on the bumps?  The big bump could be  hair follicles and sebaceous glands which are a normal part of the skin's anatomy and are commonly found on the penile shaft, particularly on the underside. They may be visible as small nodules or might only be felt as small lumps in the skin. On the other hand, the small bumps could be Fordyce spots or milia. Fordyce spots are small papules that can appear on the glans, shaft or scrotum and usually affect younger men. They are painless and not itchy and are not infectious. Herpes are usually the blister-type bump. If it persists or other symptoms arise, have this evaluated further for proepr management.

Take care and regards.
