Tiny Brown bumps, the size of a goose bump at base of penis
Hello, I've all the sudden started developing tiny (1-2 mm brown bumps) at the base of my penis... actually they started about an inch away then i noticed a couple at the base... these started about 2-3 months ago out of nowhere... They are very easy to pick off, then bleed. At first I thought they were just goosebumps i knicked during shaving down there, but theres about 4 of them now.... Can someone tell me what these might be?? The women I've had sex with (since jan) were tested before we had sex, and were clean... Can genital warts, even be that small?

Hello,
It is true that warts can be so small and they can also have hair arising out of them but it is not very easy to pick them up.I would suggest that you follow with the earlier told treatment and if the symptoms still persist then pls get seborrheic keratosis or warts ruled out.
I hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.

Thanks Kindd. I thought that folliculitis was normally red bumps though? These are raised a little higher than the sebaceous glands around them, and they're brown

Hello,
As you are describing that a hair is sticking out of them, so chances of these bumps being folliculitis are more. Folliculitis starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing or blockage of the follicle. In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph).
Pls keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.
