White bumps on glans
by rlcjr, Feb 01, 2008 11:56PM
About 6 months ago I discovered 6 small (pin head size) white bumps on the skin beneath my glans. They are not painful, but somewhat irritating. They have not gotten larger over time. I am 21 and uncircumsized. What could this be? I'm thinking maybe a cyst or something. I've scheduled an appointment with my doctor, but it's 3 weeks from now, and I need some peace of mind! Thanks.

Your sexual history is very important here. White pin head lesions may be infections
( eg virus, fungal infections,bacterial ) or may be due to contact dermatitis or allergic reactions. Uncircumcision increases the chance for infections to occur beneath the foreskin and eventually involves the foreskin itself.
At this point , refrain from unnecssarily touching the lesions .Don't pick on them and observe proper hygiene. A consult with your physician will be able to allay your worries so it is best to avoid unnecessary worrying until a consult is made.
