Painless bumps on penis head

Posted , 3 users are following.

I'm 17 this year and never had any form of sex, been circumcised for 5 years. I dont know when this started but I know I have had it for years now. I might have had it even before I got circumcised, Im really not sure cos I didnt take note of it

They are painless but can get sensitive when I rub across them with a finger (its like the inside of the bumps) but its nothing too serious. There are actually areas in my penis head where its completely clear of them

They are hideous & I want to remove them

What are they? Is that an STI? How do I remove them? Thanks a lotimageimageimage

    Let me suggest you make an appointment with a dermatologist to find out just what the condition is and how to treat it. You are right. It is not normal and you need a professional to help you work through this.

    As Glenn says, best get this medically checked - and yes a dermatologist is the right person to see as to what the options are.

    I think what these mainly are are things that are naturally present on the penis - they develop following onset of sexual maturation - the dermatologist will let you know what you can do ....

      how much will a trip to the dermatologist cost me? and will i need surgery to remove it?

      It is very unlikely that surgery would even be considered until you are much older as things can change so much as your penis will continue to develop until you are around 26 YOA.

      A dermatologist treats the skin, they do not perform surgery - cost depends on in which country you live. If you have a Regular / Family Doctor / GP you could check with then first as for treatment options and costs ....

      okay, do u think it will be ok to have any form of sex before i get this treated?

      So, if you have had no previous sexual contact then it would be safe for you to have sex. Specifically, what you have on your penis is simply the way it has developed naturally, and not because of any sexual infection.

      If you do have a sexual partner in future make sure you know how to stay safe ....
