extremely anxious at the moment, have had some itching and general irriration in my genital region since May18 i have been to the docs and gum both say not warts, i have seen two dermos again say not warts, then these have popped up over the last week or so actually on my shaft, can anyone relate, are they warts? i do have quite a lot of forcyde sports however these are raised with a shiny texture.

    So you have two types of skin on your penis: a mucosa and regular dermal skin. Mucosa cannot get acne but regular skin can. I believe what you have there is acne and that is not a huge problem but they can become inflamed at times so it's best to treat it before it does become inflamed. In your case youd use regular acne supplies or just pay special attention to that specific area . If you do use acne creams or supplies make sure you do not get it inside of your foreskin or on your glans(head of penis) as it will hurt like a chemical burn because most acne creams and etc use salicylic acid and that can cause some burning and irritation I think these are just stubborn whiteheads so take a nice warm bath to soften them up every night before you treat them

    thanks for the replies guys, very much appreciated. i thought myself initially they may be inflames forcyde spots however, I've kind of become obsessed with taking pictures and zooming in to try and look at what they actually are, the thing that is panicking me is when i zoom right in to them they look more like little skin growths as a pose to forcyde spots, i can kind of see a difference in them. I'm so frustrated as I've been getting general irritation and discomfort in my genital area all last summer, it seems when i do excersize of when the weather is warm the irritation seriously flares up and the discomfort it something else. i want a biopsy doing on the lump and bumps i keep getting but it seems to me like the NHS (i am in the UK) will not offer me any tested for HPV nor do they seem educated enough to tell me what is going off. i keep getting sent away with them saying there is nothing to worry about there, i am not concerned these are NOT warts!!! which is all good and well, but they aren't giving me a resolution either, so im so frustrated and depressed beyond belief. i just dont know what to do or where to turn now.

      Our skin down there as not as smooth as the skin of other parts and even the skin of other parts is full of imperfections too. It is just that it needs to ignored till it shows any perilous effects.

      My advice is to ignore what you are having. The psychological effect of such thoughts is really powerful and don't make it fool you around .

      You Don't Have Anything except a minor imperfection of skin, which was never perfect in the beginning itself.

      Stay healthy, Stay blessed.
