Sebaceous Cyst on penis!?!?
Hello, I had about 10-12 bumps on my penis some really small and white others some what big and red.
I went to my doc. and after a few tests he said that they are not STD's and are totally harmless he called them **Sebaceous Cyst **...
He said that the reason they have been spreading is from hard friction to the cysts **as in masturbation and other sexual play**
Does that sound right to you guys? can Sebaceous Cyst spread from hard friction? I need info on these things help pls
Sebaceous cysts do tend to occur where friction has caused to pores to clog up with dead skin cells. These must be very small ones - it seems a bit strange.
yes most of them are extremely smallHowever some of them are bigger most of the ones I tried to popI admit that I have generated a good amount of friction to my penis while I have had these and they seem to have gottem worst as I generate more friction i stopped after I noticedBut maybe its me I dont know if my doc is right only bcuz I dont think cysts can spread like that?im 100% sure its not a std by both me and the doc but is it possible this could be some kind of bad skin infection cuasing these bumps?

The doctor probably would have noticed if it was.
yea thanks,
so you guys think it is possible that these cysts can spread from friction?
I would suspect that the small ones are just normal sebaceous glands. A sebaceous cyst arises when a sebaceous gland gets blocked but keeps producing sebum, so it swells up. You shouldn't try to pop them, it makes things worse. It's possible that ones you tried to pop could have become infected.
is it possible that these cysts can release the little white head in it? or you can pick it out?
Yes, both regular sebaceous glands and the cyst do/can have this white substance.
