Noticed small bumps on the head of penis. they are similar to my skin color, but lighter. no pain or itchiness. sexually inactive for 10 mo's.

Pearly penile papule: In all likelihood these are pearly penile papules and are not considered abnormal. They typically occur near the rim of the glans penis. If the occur elsewhere and /or are new, you should be examined by a urologist.

Hello, I found two tiny little soft skin colored bumps (smaller than a pea) on my inner labia under my clitoris. They aren't painful even if I squeeze them, though they do get a little bit itchy sometimes. I'm 17 and I'm not sexually active.
