Small white-ish bumps on glans?

Posted , 3 users are following.

So for many years I've had these small white-ish bumps on the tip of my penis head, and some just underneath as well. They don't hurt or itch, but I'm not sure what they are, or if you are dangerous in any way to my health.

Does anyone know what it might be? Thanks.

      Yes, this last photo is very clear. What you probably have going on is just the way your penis has developed - what you seem to have is a combination of Fordyce Spots and Pearly Penile Papules. This is not typically as they would be normally in appearance so what you have could be relatively, or very uncommon.

      Has a Doctor ever checked these out for you? The essential thing would be did these only appear after you became sexually active? If so, go get checked out with a Medical professional - if no sex yet, then what you have could be hereditary.

      For peace of mind as for a Professional Medical opinion anyway ........

      Thank you very much for the reply 😃

      I first became sexually active 2 years ago, but I remember having these spots/bumps for many years prior. I do, however, think that they have multiplied a bit over the years, as I don't remember them to be as prominent as they are now.

      I haven't consulted a doctor yet, as I simply fear the awkwardness of it.

      It is natural to be hesitant and feel awkward about health issues related to our genitalia, but honestly, Doctor's check-out people's genitals, of all ages day in day out.

      What you have could be relatively rare, but a Doctor needs to be aware of what variations from the norm look like - and, what you need to know is that this is not something that can adversely impact on your health, and potentially, the health of your sexual partners .......
