Bumps under head of penis
I'm a 26 yo W male. I've been in a monogamous relationship for the past 9 years. I had one previous sexual encounter before I met my wife which was about 10 years ago. I've always had these little bumps around the head of my penis and I've also noticed bumpy like skin on the shaft just below the head. Its not really like a circular bump but more like a elongated white scar tissue. Lol, it's a little hard to explain. They have been there for at least 5 years, maybe longer I'm not real sure. I never really payed attention to that area. Anyways, it has not changed it size or color. My original concern was HPV but it doesn't look like the pictures. My physicals have always been normal and I've never tested positive for any std. My wife also has never tested positive for anything and has always had normal Pap smears. Should I be worried about anything or am I working my self up for no reason. We recently discussed having children and I don't want this to interfere if it's something bad. Thanks.

Hi, our bodies do change as we age and these most likely have been there all your life and now becoming more pronounced. Sounds alike something natural to your skin texture. And your correct as does not appear as HPV warts. Have a doc check them as you seem to be a bit worked up over this.
No. It's on the left side and just below the head. I'm not really sure how to describe it because it looks nothing like the pictures of HPV on the Internet. In assuming it's just normal variation in the skin since there has been no change in its appearance.
are you sure you aren't just noticing your frenulum? ( google pictures but not at work...lol )
Thanks for the quick response. I'll bring it up at my next physical. Everything I've read suggests that unchanging bumps don't suggest HPV.
