Suggest Treatment For Small Bumps On The Penis

hello, I have 3 small skin colored bumps on the shaft of my penis below the wrinked skin underneath the head of the penis. They are not itchy or painful, it s been 3 years since my last sexual encounter which was with protection, just noticed them this week. I saw my doctor, a year ago when i had one, which went away. My doctor told me it was normal and not to worry, but now it s returned and i have 3 of them so i m wondering if he was wrong and it is something i should be worried about.

Hello
Thanksfor query.
Based on what you have stated I would say that you have small Sebaceous Cysts in the foreskin.
However it needs to be confirmed by a clnical examination by a qualified Surgeon ,

The genital skin 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.

If needed if they are big enough may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)
