Hi! I've had these bumps on my shaft for over a year now. I'm not sexually active, and they don't hurt or anything. They're a little darker and rougher compared to my other fordyce spots, but they don't seem to grow or spread. Should I be worried?

Dear arnie,
Do you shave this area? If you do, they could be a condition called pseudofolliculitis barbae (Google). It's an ingrowing hair/foreign body reaction problem, more common in certain ethnic groups with curly hair.

Dear Adhari,
Thank you! I haven't shaved the area for quite some time now and it still hasn't gone away. I was worried that they might be warts, though it's been 2 years since my last sexual contact. Here's a zoomed out image:

If they are warts, they would have cleared after about 18 months. You can get persistent nodules etc from pseudofolliculitis, but if they're not bothering you just leave them alone.
