Bumps on my penis??

Question

I have had these bumps on my penis fpr a couple months now. They are on the underside of my penis and under the skin of my foreskin. They are about the thickness of a kabob skewer and the shape and lenght of a tic tac. They are hard and hurt if I squeeze them, even just a little. They are not an STD because I am 15 and have never had sex. I have not seen a doctor because Im unfortable with it and im uncomfortable with telling my mom (single parent). If I find out from this that it is something serious then I will tell my mom and get an appointment with a doctor

Answer 1

see a dr

Answer 2

OK, don't panic. You have left this a little longer than you should leave a medical problem - due to your embarrassment - but you should never let that stop you from seeking help when something is amiss with your body

I think what you may have is either genital acne (Yes, it happens) or ingrown hairs... but when you say that they are the size of Tic-Tacs (which I may never eat again, thank you so much (lol)) it makes me want to tell you to get yourself to the Dr as soon as you can. At 15, you can make an appointment by yourself and if yr mom asks, just say it's "a guy thing" that you need to discuss with the Dr.

Have you ever had one pop, like a pimple? If so, it is genital acne and you can help control it by using the same stuff down there that you use on facial acne - like Benzoyl Peroxide (AKA Clearasil) or even Strepsil Pads, though they might sting. At any rate, I do suggest a visit to the Dr or the Nurse at school (who is required to keep your visit confidential from your mom - at least that's true here in Canada.)

Good luck - and don't irritate them by touching them, K?

It sounds like you may have genital warts. Even though you haven't had sex I'm sure you have masterbated or at the least touched your penis during urination and showering. Warts are the most common STD, but are not always spread that way. They are still one of the few STD's that can be contracted from a toilet seat. You need to see a doctor, but you won't like the treatment. The importance of knowing is so you can protect future partners. For a man HPV(Human Papilloma Virus) is harmless, but in women it is linked to causing cervical cancer. Please see a physician.

I am not sure what that is but I seen a talk show (i watch talk sex with sue) and someone called in about this. She alerted them to go and see a doctor asap. It may be nothing but it is better to be safe than sorry.. Talk to your dr!!! Good Luck!!

Answer 5

If you had a girl give you oral you can get an STD from that too although you are uncomfortable I would recommend you go see a DR

Answer 6

Call your doctor. You may be old enough to go on your own.

If not you will have to tell your mom so you can get checked out.

Answer 7

I agree wiht everyone else. You have to go see a Doctor because left untreated, it could cause you alot of problems, maybe even infertility for your future years.

Answer 8

there's a technique of issues that they could properly be, maximum in all likelihood all primary. they're maximum in all likelihood pearly penile papules (many times around the pinnacle of the penis), Fordyce spots (wikipedia it for images) or straight forward hair follicles or sebaceous glands.

Answer 9

See a doc. Listen you are 15, and this is part of growing up. She will not be shocked. Good luck.

Answer 10

Go to the doctor to get a check up...Like a sports physical, and ask what they are.

Answer 11

Your mum is the best person to see about this problem. How about your dad or an Uncle.
Don't leave something like this too long. deal with it now.
