Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi i have these lumps on the side of my penis. there is usually only one at a time and they show up about once a year. Ive got them since puberty (beforre i was sexually active) so i am certain i did not contract them as an sti. They feel like large hard pimples in the skin the surrounds the shaft. They are painless except that the skin sometimes gets raw because it peels more on them. From what ive read, it sounds like they may be lymphoceles or swollen sebaceous glands. In the past i have squeezed them but it doesnt really work. Eventually they recede but this can take months and it ruins my sex life. is there anything i can do about this? where should i go to get actual help? would a skin clinic be able to do anything about this problem?
thanks so much for any input, 23 year old man in canada
I need to know if these lesions bleed, or painful. These could be genital warts or molluscum contagiosum. If you're concerned about bumps on your penis, see a doctor or go to a clinic for advice on what to do. Don't try to pop any bumps or use pimple cream on them, as this could make things worse.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sameen Bin Naeem, General & Family Physician
