21, male (it's not sex related) - it's probably nothing bad at all, but i don't remember the vein being like that. i hope it's nothing serious but please let me know what you think (ps whoever reads all these posts and responds is an absolute legend cos it must be kinda grim).

    Veins in the penis vary in size from person to person. There is nothing alarming about this vein, and its fine if you aren't experiencing any associated pain.

      If it is really stressing you out, you can get checked for piece if mind. I do believe that everything is fine and normal. Penis is in good health, with fordyce spots present (normal), and nothing looks concerning.

    My young friend

    I can see that you have Fordyce Spots. If you go to a doctor they can give you something that will help them fad some.

    Now the vein is nothing to worry about. It is called the Dorsal Artery. All men have them. Your just goes on the side. Most of us have then going down the center. You have nothing to worry about. You do not need this checked. This vein supply's some of the blood to the penis

    Take care...Ken

      there are way more 'fordyce' spots on the other side that are clustered closer together that aren't shown in the picture. Just wondering if any medication or doctors visit is worth it, or if I should just ignore them. I think i've always had them and i know this sounds gross, but just assumed it was caused by sweating as i tend to sweat quite a bit even though i shower fairly regularly. So yeah, if you had them, would you see a medical professional to get them lessened, or would you leave them as they are?

      Thanks again

      Buddy I would just leave them alone. Once you get them you have them. They are cause by hair follicle. There is another treatment that they can do with a laser but then you have to deal with the scares

      Be safe
