Multiple white bumps on penis foreskin

Posted , 6 users are following.

I've had these white bumps on my penis foreskin since I was 14 and I am now 16. I've never been sexually active but plan on having sex with my girlfriend soon, but I do not want to make an embarrassment of myself.

The reason I have not gone to the doctor with this, is because I find it rather embarrassing and would rather see if I could solve this myself, before having someone look at my penis, and would rather not notify my parents of this. imageimage

    Hi they could sebaceous cyst you should visit your GP for proper diagnosis and for treatment. There no need to be embarrassed you don't have to tell you parents everything just tell them you want to see the doctor and that it is something private your dad will probably understand you could just say to him and don't be worried about showing you GP

    UPDATE:

    I saw a nurse (As the doctors weren't available) and she told me that it's probably just a sebaceous gland or hair follicle. She also described it to a doctor (Although the doctor was not in the room herself).

    Is this correct or was she wrong? (Reason she could be wrong written below)

    I'd like to note that the bump is different when my penis is erect. It is slightly larger, harder (when you press down on it you can really feel the bump) and it's more red at the bottom and white/yellow-ish at the top, and when i visited the nurse it basically matched the skin color of my penis and was a little smaller.

    This is why I think the nurse could have mistaken it for something it was not, especially because she's just a nurse.

    She also told me that it likely cannot be removed by anyone, which of course frustrates me a lot as this is probably the least attractive thing you can look at and it's just embarrassing and I feel like it's holding me back from having sex.

    Do any of you have any idea if this is true and if not what could my treatment options be?

    I realize I'm questioning most of what this nurse said, but I just don't feel comfortable with her answers as she's just a nurse and because the bump looked a little different when she saw it.
