Two white bumps on penis shaft..
Hi, I've always had little bumps like the ones shown on this website:http://www.studenthealth.co.uk/leaflets/malegenderm2.JPG
but now I have had 2 of those a little bit bigger for about three months. Is there any antibiotic to get rid of it? I had one before but it took MONTHS to go away by itself, and someone told be antibiotics should do the trick, but which ones?
Welcome to A2A!Sebaceous glands by themselves will not respond to antibiotic, because they are not an infection, but a normal part of your skin. (You have them all over your skin, but mostly hidden under it; the skin on the genitalia is thinner.) They can get bigger if they get infected (that will respond to antibiotics, though it's usually unnecessary, as the body should cope) or if they get blocked. Three months doesn't sound like an infection, so either they are blocked and have become whiteheads, or they just happen to be a bit bigger but are otherwise normal. Either way antibiotics won't do anything.
yeah I think it's a white head. what can I do?
Generally it's best to leave whiteheads alone and let them work their way to the surface in their own good time, but if you must you can dig them out with a sterile needle. You run a good chance of ending up with a sore that looks worse for a few days than the whitehead did, though.
