Small White Growth

[dannyd861]

Hello All,

I have a small white papule just under the head of my penis within my foreskin. It went away once before after i caused it to bleed. I thought is was genital herpes but ruled it out. Could it be gonnorhea?? I have had unprotected sex many time in my life, but I am in a monogomus relationship now. I have had genital warts, so I know they are not warts. It is just one small white papule just under my head on the side of the penis. Any ideas??

Hi,

This could be fordyce spots or Hirsuties papillaris genitalis. Fordyce's spots are small, painless, raised, pale or white spots or bumps  that may appear on the shaft of the penis. The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland, and are not known to be associated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic concern only. They are non-infectious and a not sexually transmitted. natural occurrence on the body.  Hirsuties papillaris genitalis, on the other hand, is a harmless anatomical variation with no malignant potential. This presents as papules  appearing  as one or several rows of small, flesh-colored, smooth, dome-topped bumps situated around the glans. It is not a sexually transmitted disease  and asymptomatic.  It may persist throughout life but may become less noticeable with increased age.

Take care and regards.
