Bumps On Penis, No Itching Or Burning. Insight?

I have had these small bumps on my penis for almost 4 years shortly after my daughter was born. It started off with this dark cluster above my private area, than the bumps started showing up on the shaft. They don t itch , burn , or brother me but the dark cluster does itch occasionally and has bled before. My fiancée is worried it is a form of cancer , at least the dark cluster. Is there any insight on what they could be? They have spread over the years, but again I ve had them going on almost 4.

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as Fordyce spots on penis and groin.
The penile skin and skin around is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.
Do not worry there are no chances of cancer or any serious issue to be worried about..
