Red bumps around rim of penis head.
I have been masturbating since i was about 13 years old, im seventeen now and i noticed lots of red bump about the size if the tip of a ballpoint pen, clustered around the left and right side of my penis head, but not on the head, just around the rim. What has caused these bumps and how do i get rid of them without my parents knowing?

Hi,
This could be Hirsuties papillaris genitalis or pearly penile papules. It is a harmless anatomical variation wherein papules appear as one or several rows of small, flesh-colored bumps situated around the corona . It is not a sexually transmitted disease and may persist throughout life. but gradually may become less noticeable with increased age.

Take care and regards.
