Dear Readers,

Paying careful attention to your penis is a great habit to form, especially now, before you have had much (if any) exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you know what is normal for your penis, you'll be more likely to notice potentially problematic developments. Fortunately what the three of you describe seem to fall into the 'non-problematic' camp. Medical providers stress that unusual bumps (in repose or otherwise) are usually caused by trauma (injury), are normal, or are growths, in that order.

It is most likely that the bumps all three of you are describing are sebaceous glands of hair follicles on the scrotum and lower penile shaft. They are normal and harmless. You'll most likely see hair growing from them (if not now, then soon!). And yes, hair can grow on the shaft of the penis, though most often just near the base.

Keep in mind, too, that penile skin is not much like other skin. It is often bumpy, lumpy, and uneven, especially on the shaft. A deflated penis can look especially bumpy, but will look less so when filled and expanded. If bumps are numerous, tiny, and don't change over time, they probably represent your normal penile skin landscape.

However, bumps or lumps that are few in number, that seem to have a timely association with sexual activity, or that grow in size may represent genital warts (condyloma), usually caused by a strain of human papillomavirus (HPV). These warts need medical attention, biopsy, or removal. One nifty thing a medical provider, or you, may do is to apply some diluted, mild vinegar solution to the warty tissue of your penis to "bring out" or accentuate the warts.

The most common cause to changes in genital skin is injury. Let's face it, a penis can take a beating, and it is neither surprising nor unusual for bruises, nicks, bites, abrasions, or bumps to appear after close or vigorous contacts of all kinds. The head and shaft often show the effects of such a workout, and rest, soap and water, and occasionally mild antibacterial ointment are reasonable treatments. Most minor damage goes away quickly, and lubrication by itself or with a condom will help prevent future skin irritation or damage from overly enthusiastic masturbation or sex.

If these (or new) bumps are growing or changing on your penis or if you notice bumps inside your scrotum or penis, a visit to your health care provider is in order. Students at Columbia can make an appointment through Open Communicator or by calling x4-2284. And, if you think these bumps might be a result of spanking the monkey too hard, try petting him!

Well that answers everything really^^^

But in simple english it can be one of two things, it can be either a thing called 'Pearly penile papules' (I read up about this the other day :-)) which are normal growths that appear around the base of the hair follicles.

Or more likely..

It is an infection of the sebaceous glands, or aka pimple-like growths. Both are not uncommon but it is best to be evaluated by a doctor to determine a diagnosis and treatment.
Remember, some sexually transmitted infections, like herpes and genital warts, can be transmitted through close skin-to-skin contact, even if the person has never had intercourse.



So, basically it's best to go to a doctor and either he/she can tell you if they need to be treated or not. But I doubt it's nothing dramatic that you need to panic about.
Unless you've had sex of course, which is talked about above. Personally speaking I don't know of any cream that you can get, but I'm sure there must be.

Normal skin texture. The skin on the lower penis/underside as well as the skin that covers the testicles have small white, uniform 'bumps', they're follicles, completely normal, everyone has them to some extent.

As stated, the only time you have to worry is when something new appears. if it's always been there then it's probably just a normal thing. Which in your case it is.
