I have these little white bumps on the rim of the head of my penis. I do take care of myself, so I got it checked out. The doc said that they are what they call, pearly whites. Ok Im lost in the sauce, but was to embarrassed to say anything. I am not circumsized and someone said that it could have to do with the whole hygein part of that. I know that it is not an STD, because I just got that checked. What could it be?

Pearly penile papules are nothing to worry about and are very normal and quite common. There is absolutely no chance of them becoming malignant. It is not known why they develop but they are not an STD and are totally harmless. There is absolutely no correlation to pearly penile papules and hygiene. They are more common in uncircumcised men and in those in their 20s and 30s. Don't worry about it...they are nothing!

Sebaceous glands in yougnsters, are frequent cause of concern, understandably, because nobody tells what they are and that they only contain a small amount of whitish sebum secretion retained in them....sometimes they become irritated and red, and sometimes, they are itchy,,,,for short periods of time...
They do not mean anything, and improve with time and good local hygiene (preferably using a small amount of benzal gel after the bath)....everyday, until they fry up and dissapear by themselves..
