What Do Bumps On Penis Indicate?

i dont have the money to go to a doctor, im freshly out on my own now. im 22 yrs old and in need of some serious answers. i have been looking on the infowebs and i have come across a couple of things but im not sure if they are what im experiencing. i have had a couple bumps come up about a yr ago. they went away but now im worried that i may have something. i have been sexually inactive since last yr. my penis has some small non painful bumps on the shaft, i also have a slight itch it doesnt always itch but when it does which like i said is rare its only where my genitals and thigh kind of meet you know. well i was wondering what i could do to treat this. its not spreading or getting worse but its slowly going away and im just scared a little nervous about telling someone and everything. please help me out.

Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you have noticed several small non painful lumps on your penis. These lumps are most likely small sebaceous cysts and are very common and completely benign. You have nothing to be concerned about here. These lumps are small oil glands under the skin that create small lumps or cysts. These never are an indication of any other diseases or do they change into anything worrisome. I can reassure you that you are healthy and normal.

The itching maybe minor yeast infections which can occur and is called tinea cruris or jock itch. You can use an over the counter antifungal spray like tinactin to help reduce the itch.

I hope this answers your question. Please contact HCM again with any of your health care concerns
