i've been getting some small red bumps on my penis, only 1 every time it comes... now i havnt come in contact with anyone physicly too get any infections from another person... but let me describe how it is at the moment... ok i have had a red bump there for a few days... i popped it and water and also a small amount of white whatever came out... then a tiny bit of blood... now.. a few days pass.... and there is like a small line next too it connecting too it that feel a little swallen, hmm its hard too describe... lets say that this is the shape on my penis... -----o its like a line that leads too the bump... i feel too embarrased too goto the doctors, i know i should go... but can anyone give me an alternative idea of what i could do... oh and today i see tiny little dots on the head of my penis (the bell) but tiny tiny little things... Could this be a hygen issue, do i need too clean myself more or is there some type of cream i can use?? i've latly been using Aqueous Calamine Cream BP. I came too the conclusion myself that it seems too take down the swelling... but i'd like too know from a professional... please reply... thank you... from dante
I have a similar problem. I have hair growing out of the shaft. Some of the hair is light and small and some of it is darker. At the base of the hairs the follicle is filled with a very little ammount of white creamy substance. Is this common, are there treatments for this?
ok, it looks like it has healed up but there is still a small red spot where the bump was, do i need to be concerned?
You can't start a new question in an existing thread. But what you describe sounds like sebaceous glands, which are entirely normal. Sebaceous glands become more prominent as someone sexually matures, i.e. about your age.
No follow-up comments/questions. See your own health care provider if you remain concerned.
hi
i am 16 and have some bumps on the shaft of my penis and they are all singular bumps but near each other. they don't hurt or itch. but i also squeezed one with a pair of tweezers and removed some thick white substance (like a whitehead). I'm really confused
can someone plz tell me what they are and how 2 get rid of them
its almost healed up not so i'm not sure, i tried what you said and there are little hairs around it
Got it.
Again, I'm not a medical practitioner, but inside the hairline still seems high probability for folliculitis. Here's something -- if you tug a little on the pubic hair near the spot, does the bump peak up? You may have a hair that's too small to see in the middle of the follicle that is inflamed. If you pull on it, you will see the inflamed follicle peak up at the center.
Oh yeah i forgot to mention when i popped it the fluid was pretty much clear I don't remember if there was any blood, i think there was.
I mean it is on the shaft but at the top of the shave right where there is a small amount of pubic hair and the rest of the hair starts. I didn't see a hair in the middle of it. I will say i took a hair trimmer and trimmed myself up a bit a few days before this bump came about, I was thinking i might have irritated something. I dunno if i'm must being paranoid or what about herpes.
Dr. will surely respond shortly.
Is there a hair in the middle of the bump? If so, sounds more likely to be a hair follicle that has become inflamed. Herpes is more typically on the shaft of the penis as I understand it.
This sounds more like a pimple or folliculitis (hair follicle infection) than herpes, which usually shows up as multiple blister-like lesions; and generally occurs on the head of the penis or shaft, not the base. But if it occurs again, see a health care provider right away for proper diagnosis.
