Bumps on penis head
A few months back i began noticing that when my penis was erect, it looked like underneath the skin on the head there were lots of tiny little bumps, smaller than a pin head. They dont appear to be red, nor do they itch or hurt. I am concerned because they have not gone away or even become less noticeable. I was tested for all stds and hiv( all came back negative) a month or 2 ago and my most recent partner has also tested negative, including HPV. Am i over reacting? Can the glans of a circumsized penis appear like this? I am 25 years old.
ok i dont know hpv is gonna look on someone cus mines are dark but i did find this one thing basically about males here it is hope it helps
* So called (and looking like) pimples are normal. They are pearly penile papules, small in size (approximately 1-2 mm) and they look just like pimples, but are not pimples. They are actually tinny glands, and you shouldn't pick on them. They occur around the margin of the penis head, and can be seen when foreskin is pulled back. They usually develop in teenage years, but may occur up to the age of 40. They are visible in some men, while in others are less noticeable. Around 10% of men is affected by pearly penile papules.
* After masturbation or sexual intercourse hard swelling might appear near the foreskin, in the shaft of the head of the penis. This swelling is called lymphocele, and is caused by temporary blockage of the lymphatic channels at the area described. This condition is also normal and goes away on its own without any after-effects.
but get a docs point of view

Nope... I got checked by a doctor and he said flaccid it appeared to be very normal. I just still get worried
