What Are The Bumps On My Penis Shaft?

PLEASE HELP! I'm only 15 years old. I noticed four small bumps on my penis shaft in the middle. They aren't together. One is kind of pink. The others look like the color of my skin there. The pink one is more noticible. They don't itch and they aren't painful. I'm so scared to tell my parents but I need to know what it is.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are 15 years old, i hope you are not involved in any sexual activity. the cause for the bumps on your penis is may be due to sebaceous glands of hair follicles on penile shaft and these are normal and harmless.
It may be due to injury, irration of the skin of the penis as it is soft and highly sensitive and fox fordyce disease which can also present like this and it also donot rquire any treatment.
For your condition I would suggest you
1.Maintain good hygiene of the genitals
2. Apply moisturizers on the skin
3.Mild antibacterial ointment can be used.
If the bumps is not coming down you need to consult your doctor at the earliest.
Thank you.
