Suggest Treatment For Bumps On The Scrotum And On The Penis Shaft
Question: hello, my name is XXXXXXX
I am having an issue with three mystery bumps on my scrotum and one on the base of the shaft
let me start of my saying i am highly versed in the subject of genitals and issues that can occur as i have had everything non std related in my 28 years of life, every thing from staph to ringworm,
on to symptoms
the bumps one my testicals are in a row roughly 1/2 cm to 1 cm apart and seemed to be next to the hair follicle
raised from the skin
were XXXXXXX to brownish in color.
seemed to be an uniform circular to slightly oblong in shape at first glance but when view with a magnifying glass seem to be have a very irregular surface (bumps of various size
no more then 1.5mm in diameter
hard to the touch and slightly shiny
Do not itch nor have any pain associated with them
they have been present for sometime no 6 plus mouths and have not seemed to change much
My initial concern is HPV
as they slightly resemble some pictures i have seen
however they are not clustered nor do the itch or and anywhere close to the size i believe a wart would be and the do not have the characterized shelf like hpv
i had sratched them off at one point and the returned
2 months went by and the bumps have returned in the exact locations with see exact symptoms and features
my primary doctor has looked at them and says the are not a concern
but did not know what they could be
i need an answer if not hpv then what???
I greatly appreciate professional tone and discussion as again i am highly versed in this knowledge
and understand a great deal as i have done my research

Brief Answer:
it might be Fordyce granules, no treatment is required.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query and the pictures.
Based on the pictures, I feel it might be Fordyce granules, which are visible sebaceous glands that are present in most individuals. They are not associated with any illness, but represent a natural occurrence on the body. They do not need any treatment. I would not advise you to scratch it, as it increases the risk of infection.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
