penis glands

I am a 17 year old male. I have small white bumps on the shaft of my penis (seems to be under the skin) and also pail glands around the head of my penis. I am not sexually active. i have seen a GUM clinic and they confirmed they were glands. If this is correct then how could I go about getting rid them?

thankyou

Hi,

The fact that you are not sexually active helps exclude other possible causes (eg STD's). Lesions in the penis may actually be normal structures.They may be enhanced blood vessels, sweat and sebaceous glands. This may be the case with you.There is no need for immediate intervention.

How would you describe the lesions? Are they skin colored, white or bluish? Are they scaly,shiny or plaquelike? Are they markedly located around the head of the penis?

Any problems with erection?

Avoid unnecessarily manipulating the area.

Do keep us posted with your answers.

Hi

im 15 years old and i got these growths about 6 months ago to get rid of them see your dermatologist they will numb you and shock you and it will cause these things to dry up and fall off, but they may grow back so you have to do this from time to time.
