See... I'm not sure what's goin on exactly. I've been saving myself for that someone and haven't had sex before at my early age but I've masturbated off and on. And this is where I become confused with why I have this pimple like things on the base of my penis. They kinda look as if someone has pulled the hair out of the pores and left them. I am uncircumsized as well. They sometimes have an itching sensation but not enough to realize it with no problems urinating. Any solutions people?

Can't figure it out...

Do they look like this , or are they bigger? The picture shows sebaceous glands, which are normal.

Actually, yes... that'd be it exactly. So I'm guessing the itching part is just kind of a mental thing considering it doesn't happen all the time. Oh and what are these glands exactly? And What causes them and will they go away?

Yes, the itching would be mental, probably. Sebaceous glands exist over nearly all the body, most commonly at hair follicles. They secrete a greasy white gunk called sebum, which is the body's natural moisturiser to keep the skin from becoming too dry. The sebaceous glands become bigger and more active at puberty, and are more likely therefore to get infected. An infected sebaceous gland is a zit.Usually sebaceous glands are hidden, buried in the lower layers of the skin. But the skin on the genitalia is thinner, so they can be visible as bumps. They don't go away, but with age they do get smaller again gradually and recede.

I just wanted to say how glad I am that I read this post and saw that picture. I have been driving myself nuts for the last few weeks because I have the same thing on my penis. At first I thought I had herpes or something, but mine don't itch at all or feel any type of sensation, and some of those bumps do have hair coming out of them on my testicles, which is one reason I hesitated to think it was an std. I did some research and looked at pictures to compare before going to the doctor, and what I have looks NOTHING like any kind of STD but looks exactly like that picture posted.
