Question 1

why are there little white bumps on the shaft of my penis?

Accepted Answer

Follicles/Glands: The bumps you are referring to are more than likely the hair follicles of the shaft.  There may be prominent oil glands there as well.  If these are small and pearl like and not red, on a stalk or causing a problem, it appears you have normal anatomy.  One can get warts, orther virus induced lesions such as molluscum, herpes, syphillis and many other lesions on the penis.  What you state is normal.

Question 2

why do i have little white bumps on the shaft of my penis i masturbate a lot so i don't know if its from that?

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous glands?: All guys have them; maybe you've just discovered them. Any concerns, ask your physician; if he/she can't answer, a urologist visit is in order.

Question 3

i have tiny little white bumps on the shaft of my penis is this a std ? please help

Accepted Answer

Normal: Pearly papules otherwise called sebaceous cysts are not in any way stds. They are oil filled benign common cysts that guys get on occasion. Leave them be. They will usually resolve on their own.

Question 4

i have small painless non itchy white bumps on the shaft of my penis what is this should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Some possibilities..: Rashes, dots, or spots are hard to describe and visualize in words. Sometimes penis shaft bumps are comedones or maybe bumpy hair follicles without hair. One's primary care doctor can examine to see what is happening. A video consultation may be adequate if lighting and camera are good. Only an exam can tell for sure what they are.

Question 7

for the past several months i have noticed a small cluster of bumps on the shaft of my penis, they are small and i rarely feel them. smaller when erec?

Accepted Answer

Could be HPV: While the bumps you notice could be simple hair follicles (look like goose bumps) if you've been sexually active they are probably genital warts caused by the human papilloma virus (hpv). Most sexually active people have been exposed. In women they can lead to cervical cancer which is why they have developed a vaccine. Men usually have the warts for a year and then they disappear. Contagious? Yes.

Question 8

i recently got small bumps on the shaft of my penis i'd say a about a month ago but its been a little over a year since unprotect sex what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Molluscum: Molluscum contagiosum virus causes a benign viral infection that is largely (if not exclusively) a disease of humans. Molluscum contagiosum virus causes characteristic skin lesions consisting of single or, more often, multiple, rounded, dome-shaped, pink, waxy papules that are 2-5 mm (rarely up to 1.5 cm in the case of a giant molluscus) in diameter. The papules are umbilicated and contain a core.

Question 9

and as long as i could remember, i have had small white or yellowish painless bumps on the shaft of my penis. what is it? im scared its something wors

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: If they have been there "forever" and haven't changed, almost certainly it is nothing harmful and probably normal. Best guess is you are noticiing normal sebaceous glands or hair follicles, which are most easily visible on thin skin, like that on the penis. Show your doctor next time you are scheduled for a routine doctor visit, but in the meantime I really woudln't worry.
