Accepted Answer

Pearly papules?: Several percent of men have a row of bumps on the corona around the glans; they are picturesquely named "pearly penile papules". They're quite normal and perhaps a "plus", if you don't like them, there's laser removal. I'll bet this is what they are. Every guy has veins and looks swollen sometimes.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Pearly Penile Papule: Pearly penile papules are tiny bumps that ring the rim of the penis head. They are typically flesh-colored or a little lighter and have a smooth dome shape. Interestingly, they also seem to form in organized rows, like a string of pearls. There are no harmful effects other than some possible sensitivity that may be uncomfortable during sex or other activities.

See your doc again: What to do depends on their cause. There's a range of conditions this could be, including normal skin changes, and its hard to advise on the most likely cause without a clinical examination. If these bumps are new and haven't always been there, you should re-visit your doctor to find out what they are &amp; what treatment, if any, is needed.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Lumps and bumps are hard to describe in words. If one has little bumps on the head of his penis, and STD's have been ruled out, they could be "pearly penile papules," which are small, skin-colored papules that usually are located on the edge of the head of the penis (visible when the foreskin is pulled all the way back). Pearly penile papules are considered normal. A doctor can evaluate the bumps.

Question 8

i have a cluster of yellow little bumps around the head of my penis and some on my shaft it itches at night and skin is scaly and sheds when erect ?

Accepted Answer

Yeast? Herpes??: This sounds like a yeast infection or nonspecific inflammation under the foreskin, especially if uncircumcised and the bumps are not painful. However, genital herpes also is a possibility -- more likely if pain, if the bumps started like clear fluid blisters, or if pain or swelling in the groin. See a doctor to be certain and get appropriate treatment, ASAP (within 1-2 d) for best diagnosis &amp; Rx.

Question 9
