Small bumps under the head on. They sorta look like zits, but I'm not sure. I had underprotected sex like 5 months ago, I didn't see them till around this month. I know going to a doctor would not be a waste of time, but I'm shy, and I don't think I would ever go.I just can't stop thinking about it.. I wish I knew it was nothing to worry about.

Zits?

On the head or the shaft?

If they are very small (about a millimetre or so) and skin-coloured or whitish, they are probably sebaceous glands, which are normal. They sit under the skin over most of your body, usually at hair follicles, and you don't normally see them, but the skin on your penis is thin and you can see them more clearly, especially the hairless ones. They provide sebum, a whitish gunk that is a natural moisturiser.That's one possibility. But if they are bigger and look like zits, they may be zits. Zits are in fact infected sebaceous glands, and you can get them on your penis.

-
yeah, i have those bumps too, is there any way to get rid of them?
-
No, they're a normal part of your anatomy.
-
No, there is no way to get rid of them. Pretty much everyone past puberty has them, do don't worry about them.
I was freaked out the first time I started getting them, but once you know they're normal and everyone gets them, then you learn to live with them.

do they ever go away
-
No, they never go away. You'll have them the rest of your life. In fact, if you're just starting to notice them come in now, you'll probably get more of them for a while as you get older.
