I recently discovered bumps on my penis. I have never been sexually active so I don't think it's an std. What could it be?

This question is answered in the announcement of this forum, entitled "Puberty FAQ and Information - THIS MIGHT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION!"

Question:I have white spots on my scrotum/penis shaft. Do I have an STD?

Answre: Nope. The ones on your scrotum (ball sac) are probably hair follicles, and hair will probably grow out of them in a few months/years. The ones on your penis could also be hair follicles, but some could be Fordyce's spots. Fordyce's spots are basically little patches of fat in the skin. They're completely normal and almost every guy has them. Don't pop them - just let them be. If you really want to get rid of them, there's an expensive laser treatment you could do, but doctors advise against any treatment.

There's also a possibility you could have a pimple down there if it becomes inflamed. Just pop it, clean it off and go about your day.
If you have warts down there, you probably need to go see a doc as you could have an STI/STD.
