    So the golden rule is if you never had sex it is extremely unlikely to be a problem issue.

    I cannot see any bumps in the photo - most of these would be things that are naturally present on the penis - these usually develop before the age of around 26 YOA or so.

    For the location you show most bumps would be Fordyce Spots or are simply prominent sebaceous glands ....

    Hey bud - these are for sure Fordyce Spots. very normal to get them on the shaft.

      Hey Rob38099

      Did you get the link to the doctor I sent you? He specialized in this.

    these are totally normal, no need to worry! however if you decide to get the removed that is possible. alot of men have these.

    those look normal. i think their called Fordyce spots. small oil glands. I'd say nothing to worry about. there are options to have them removed with topical cream or a special laser.

    how long did it take for your post to get added to this site? i posted something on here last night and it said it was going to the moderator, but still hasn't show up in this forum.
