Tiny White Bumps On My Penis..... Posted: 03-05-07 09:56am
this is my first post here and just wanna
say thanx for any help i get. i'm
circumsized and just a week ago or so, i
noticed a very small white bump along the
main part of my shaft (along the top
surface). it almost looks like a hair
follicle thats more noticable because i've
been going tanning. it doesn't itch, burn,
or hurt and when i picked it open with a
pin, no discharge came out. so i put some
neosporin (sp?) and rubbing alcohol on it
but it's still there. and yesterday, i
noticed a few more (very tiny). could it
be something from going to the gym
(touching something an not washing my
hands before i went pee or something)?
any ideas what i could be and how can i
get rid of it?
thank you

I'm pretty sure it's just a pore that, due
to the penis' tight skin, for the most
part, is simply visible. It's nothing
serious or anything to worry about.

Thanx for getting back to me. I thought
maybe it could be due to tanning also. So
nothing I could do to get rid of them?

Could be a zit, ingrown hair, or just a
basic benign cyst. I've had a few cysts on
penis shaft before. After a shower they
softened and I pretty much just squeezed
one and a white ball came out, sort of
like a clogged pore or zit would. I had a
dermatologist appointment the next day
anyway, so I did nothing to the other two.
He said they were cysts and removed the
other two. The one I popped healed in a
couple days, and the ones he did took a
couple weeks to heal completely.
Only a doctor can really tell you what it
is.
On a side note, if you go to gyms it's
wise to wipe down equipment before and
after use. Maybe even use a disinfecting
spray if the gym will allow you to. A
non-chemical spray would be best, such as
vinegar or hydrogen peroxide or some other
alternative disinfectant. Use a different
towel from the one you use to wipe your
body with. Not a terribly big deal, but
better safe than sorry.

so do you think it could possibly be from
tannig? i haven't popped any of them but
they're still there. any other
suggestions? i noticed them about a month
ago but for what its worth, haven't had
sex in over two months.
