Question : I have bumps under my penis and around the base. One doctor told me it was sweat bumps and another told me it was sebaceous cysts. I have no symptoms. They showed up last year. Thought it was in-grown hairs so i didn't pay no mind to it until this summer. Its only on the bottom of my penis, not the top. I need a third opinion?

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for query.I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
I have gone through your photos and description.
Though the photos are not clear it appears to be due to multiple sebaceous cyst.
As it is present for 1 year and asymptomatic.
It cannot be sweat bumps which usually lasts temporarily.
They are harmless and need not worry.if they grow in size or starts oozing or any other complaint you need its removal.
You can consult surgeon for the diagnosis and management.
You can get back to me for any clarification
Thank you
