I need help. Small bumps forming on the shaft of my penis

[doug699]

I am a 20 year old male and have been developing wart like bumps on the shaft of my penis. I also have some around the base of my shaft. I have been dating the same girl for over two ear and frequently have sex with her without protection. About 1 year ago i started growing these bumps around the base of my shaft, and a few months ago i realized them on my shaft. They are growing and i am getting very concerned about them. I am very upset about the situation and need help. Any ideas on what they are? I posted pics to show them. Thanks alot

Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be contact dermatitis, folliculitis, cysts ,molluscum contagiosum(multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug) or genital warts(caused by HPV infection).

Apply warm compresses, Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the lumps persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and lease do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
