ok so i have these wart pimple like bumps on and near my penis. my girlfriend has been checked for an STD and came out negative and my previous partner (over a year ago) and i were always safe using condoms. could these be anything else? any possible solutions?
-
Genital warts?
-
Is it anything like the pictures in the Male Anatomy thread above?
-
they are similar to them but i also have the bumps where alot of pubic hair would be (i shaved recently) and they resemble pimples but are not easy to pop.
-
Well they are called sebaceous glands and hair follicles. You aren't supposed to pop them.
-
ok i mean i figured it wasnt genital warts but how do i get rid of them, and why have they just appeared? they dont hurt at least the ones by the hair dont, the ones on the penis itself are a little of an anoyance though
-
How do you get rid of them? You don't.. They are normal.
-
ok normal they may be however they werent there before so will they eventually go away?
-
The bumps on your pubic area may be ingrown hairs from shaving, where hairs are trying to get through the skin but finding skin debris in their way. If so, gentle rubbing with a pumice stone can help them come out. Bumps on your penis, not on a shaved area, are probably sebaceous glands that have been large and visible since puberty, but perhaps you didn't notice them before. They are normal and should stay there.

well ive had the bumps on my penis before and they have went away i actually think they are pimples
