White bumps on penis for over half a year

Posted , 9 users are following.

I have been having these bumps for over half a year. There isno itching/pain. I recently noticed that they seem to be growing in size. It is not smooth and felt like something was grown on the skins, cant scrape them off. It probably isn't genital warts, but I am worried that it might be other types of warts or STD.

    Get checked at any sexual health, GU Medicine service such as a GUM Clinic if you are in the UK, or simply contact your GP / Family doctor - if it is difficult to get an in-person appointment (phone the sexual health / GU services first, ask where you can be seen in person) you could provide the likes of a GP the photos you have posted here for them to check for you

    You need to find out what this is sooner, rather than later, if this is a problem issue it will only become worse, and, potentially, much more difficult to treat

      I went to a dermatologist and he told me it is balanitis and prescribed me some cream, which dont seem to be working. I am not confident with the diagnosis because my symptoms dont match. He told me if things dont get better I should check back in 3 weeks and do a biosy if thats the term.

      I too would suggest this is almost certainly not a simple case of Balanitis - it is easy to loose faith with medical professionals when they seem to be suggesting something it cannot be - use the cream as directed, make sure you rub it well in, as the absorption of the active ingredients is the only way that the cream will make a difference.

      I expect you to be going back in 3 weeks and to need to have a biopsy
