Pimples on Penis Shaft

This discussion has been locked due to a period of inactivity.

Hi, I know people are going to say go see your gp etc but thought I'd try here first considering it's a visual that will probably help with identifying what the issue is.

The pimples are non-itchy and don't hurt. They seem to be the size of a pin head and there's approximately 10-15 spread over mainly the right side of my shaft. On the skin only. None on the head or anywhere else.

They don't squeeze like spots on your face but they do feel solid when I try.

If I'm allowed to upload an image and someone can explain how I will do so. (Don't want to offend anyone)

If someone can advise if I can and how I do it I'll put one up.

Thanks

    Pictures are needed if you want others to say if they know what it might be. Depends on what device you are using. If a computer there's an icon at the top right of the reply box.

    Could just be Fordyce spots, which are normal.

    This should help you add images:

      How long have they been there?  Are you sexually active?

      They've just become pimples in say the last 2/3 weeks. From memory I used baby oil for lube for masturbation. They seemed to appear not long after that.

      I am sexually active with a solo partner for 13 or so years.

      I'm not sure they're anything to worry about, if they've only appeared in the last 2-3 weeks, I'd get them checked out by a doctor.

      You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.

      If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated.  Good luck.

    Yes I agree with ml66uk - probably Fordyce Spots - something to do with sebaceous glands being more prominent. No treatment required, harmless.

      Thanks I will update once I've had chance to visit the doctor.

    Hey everyone who's following this / reading.

    The spots have / seem to be subsiding. They are very much less prominent right now.

    I'm going to watch what happens over the next week and then I'll be seeing a doctor if they don't reduce completely.

    I'll check back and post an image in a weeks time to show. Hopefully, fingers cross they go away.

      So I've still got the spots!  Not growing in size or number... strange because in the morning they seem tiny.. then as the day goes on they become more prominent.

      Been busy and as they don't cause pain I've not seen the doc.. that and I'm a bit nervous about getting my spotted dick out to someone.  I know I know !! Don't lecture.. 

      I'll get there eventually.. 

      Started to wonder if it was warts but they just don't seem to be changing in size (getting bigger) and they're not bobbled/rough as such.  They're exactly like a spot but that never bursts or goes away.  

      Was going to buy some wart remover just to test on the largest one. But then thought better of it. 

      Need to bite the bullet and go see the doc I guess.

      Sorry for the late reply, but I wouldn't try wart remover if I were you.  I suspect they're nothing to worry about, but I'd still get them checked out.
