I have the similar situtation but i dont have any bumps on the head of my penis. These bumps have been on the base and the penile shaft, i hope that he right term for that area, even before i had sexual contact. There are multiple but very tiny bumps. I dont think its from any type of STD because as previously stated they were there before sexual contact. They are slighty more visible when i have an erection and it almost looks like there are hairs comming out of them or that stuff that comes out of pimples. They dont hurt or itch. The bumps feel kinda hard when i feel them but i dont know what they are. Help if Possible

Hello, I am 21 years old and have a small 2 small bumps on the rim of my penis that seem to become more noticeable with an erection, they dont hurt or itch but sometimes my testicles get a tingling uncomfortable feeling to them, does anybody know what this might be? The 2 bumps are on opposite sides on my penis head and are small and the same color as my penis..

1. For how long do you have these bumps ?
2. are they many on the head of penis ?
3. what is the color of it ?

To the doctor:
1- Do these bumps stay for ever ?

2- Could these bumps happen to circumsized guys ?

Hi,

This may be a case of balanitis. Balanitis is a condition that may be secondary to a bacterial and fungal infection.

"Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans (head) of the penis. It usually causes redness and/or a blotchy rash on the glans, sometimes with a discharge. The condition may be itchy or uncomfortable but often feels completely normal...Balanitis is not sexually transmitted. It results from an overgrowth of organisms which are normally present on the skin of the glans. The condition most commonly occurs in men who have a foreskin (i.e. have not been circumcised). The environment under the foreskin is warm and moist, and these conditions often favour the growth of the organisms that cause balanitis."

I suggest that you have this assessed by your primary physician. Avoid any sexual activity for the moment until this has been thoroughly assessed. Although this may not necessarily be contagious, manipulation of the area may cause further irritation and may aggravate the condition.

Do keep us posted regarding physician's advice.
