What Causes White Bumps On Penile Shaft?
Hi I am 19 and have never had sexual intercors in my life. Just recently I have noticed small white bumps on the skin under my shaft they don t hurt and I don t think j can pop them but I also have hair so I m not sure if it is just hair follicles or maybe an STD?

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
I reviewed facts of your query in context to your health issues.
My Opinion-
In My opinion, in the given situation you have -post-shaving folliculitis- if you have shaved it lately/ or
it could be from low grade bacterial skin infection in private parts
Other cause-like fungal infection - needs to be ruled out with your doctor and if needed with Dermatologist.
Don't worry for STD, as you don't have positive history of contact.
Do's Suggested-
Keep private parts, clean with dettols sponging to control low infection.
Use loose Ugies.
Take ibuprofen with script from your doctor.
Take Antibiotics if no relief in 3 days time with ibuprofen.
Next appointment-
After 2 weeks to review treatment for existing stomach problem .
If you update more information/ details upon these suggestions,I would give further suggestions on medicines to correct your health issues.
If need be, update any health issue 24 x 7 by a direct question to ME, at following HCM link-http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/Funnel?page=askDoctorDirectly&docId=70229
