Spreading Bright White Follicles With Hard Raised Lump, Filled With White Paste On Base Of Penis. No Pain. Suggest

Hi, for many years I've had 4-5 follicles at the base of my penis that are bright white in colour. One of them is a hard raised lump about 1.5 mm in diameter. When pinching the skin of the effected area I can feel a solid round lump of a proportionate size beneath the skin at these sites. They all regularly fill with a white paste that doesn't seem to be pus. It excretes readily when pressure is applied but always refill within a day or two. They've started to spread further up the shaft and while they may not be painful or medically dangerous, they're a serious cosmetic concern.

Hi
They are multiple sebaceous cysts.
They are formed where hairs are present.
They contain material which looks like paste.
Entire cyst wall has to be removed.Just simply squeezing and letting out the contents will lead to recurrence as the cyst wall is present.
Please consult a Surgeon/Urologist and get them removed.
There are no medicines for the cure.
Wish you good health
Regards
