What Causes Itchy Bumps In Genital Area?

I have 5 red bumps on my genital area. 2 on my penis shaft and 3 on my scrotum. They are itchy and are raised and somewhat shiny. They seem to have some sort of a head on them but it s not like a normal pimple. I ve had these for about a month, I have been having unprotected sex with my girlfriend but as far as I m aware she wasn t infected

Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on your statement I would state that you have multiple Sebaceous cysts over penis and scrotum.

The penile and scrotal 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 some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)
