Question : After shaving I noticed I have these bumps on pubic region. Flesh colored no pain or itching nor no dimple in the middle. I have done some research first I thought it was molloscum but there was no dimple. Then I found sebaceous gland which I don't know how it could be on my penile shaft. Any ideas?

Hi. Thank you. I have reviewed the images.

These are lesions of molluscum contagiosum, which are small and therefore may not have a distinct central umblication. However, these are definitely molluscum lesions

Non sexual route is possible but rare

Hi.

Most of the transmissions occur through sexual contact. However, rarely non-sexual routes like sharing razors etc can also innoculate molluscum virus.
