Is This a Concern? Posted: 03-19-07 05:38am
Hey my friend asked me if a question;
there are small 'bumps' in his penis skin,
he described them as really tiny pimples,
lol. He said that when he 'pulls' the skin
down, he sees them. They don't really hurt
or anything but he's scared if it's some
kind of disease. He tried scratching them
off but it won't work, he's a bit younger
than me so he's around 12. And I guess
he's been masturbating... What is his
problem? He wanted me to find some
information so I think it'll be best if I
post this question here, can anyone help?
His guess is that it's after he pees, he
doesn't clean his penis and the urine
might just stick there and form those
stuff. He also said they look like spores,
and that they're really small, like half
the size of this aprostrophie: '. There
are a few of them but not all over the
penis, just some in his skin when he pulls
his upper skin down. He also mentioned
that sometimes his penis feels sore, I
guess it's his masturbating too hard, lol!
Also sometimes the 'nerves' in his penis
becomes more visible.
He's kind of worried, anyone know what's
his problem?
Thanks

It's not a problem actually, I think every
man has them. I believe they're simply
hair pores or whatever they're called.

The bumps could be pearly penile papules,
in which case they would be normal and
nothing to worry about. They have nothing
to do with cleanliness. If you google it,
you can easily find pictures of them. He
could look at look them if he wants to and
see if that is what his bumps look like.
You are right that he might be sore from
masturbating too much.
I am wondering if you mean that his veins
are more visible as opposed to his nerves?
If it is the veins he is seeing (blueish
lines), then that is normal too.
So all of the things that you described
could be very normal things and nothing to
worry about, however, we can't see any of
this stuff for ourselves, and even if we
could it's pretty tough to diagnose over
the internet. It does not sound like he
needs to be too concerned, but there is
never any harm in having him ask his
doctor just in case.

what he has sounds a lot like fordyce's
spots. look it up on www.wikipedia.com.
you'll find a picture there. they are
harmless, both men and women get them, and
they're no cause for concern!
