Suggest Treatment For Red Bumps On The Penis Head
they are probably "pearly penile papules", please upload clear photographs
Detailed Answer:
Hello Young man,
Thanks for writing to us.
I can understand your concern.
You have non itchy, painless, very tiny red bumps on head of penis since long. Probably they are "pearly penile papules". They are small protuberances that may form on the ridge of the glans of the human penis. They are a harmless anatomical variation.
No need to worry if they are there. You can have normal sex life with that.
For clear comments and answer I need more information from your side.
- First of all please upload clear photographs of penis in which I can see those bumps.
- Do you have any burning or difficulty in urinating?
- You mentioned that you want to become active sexually. This means you are still not exposed to sex. But still I want to confirm that there is no unsafe(without condom) sexual exposure.
- Do you masturbate? If yes is there any problem in masturbation?
Waiting for your reply to help you further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
They are penile sebaceous glands(Fordyce spots) likely
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up and image. Sorry for delayed response.
From you history and image(though it is not quite clear) it seems that bumps are penile sebaceous glands(Fordyce spots of penis) likely.
These are tiny spots, found on the head of the penis or the shaft.They are normal.They’re minute sebaceous glands and are just part of the natural structure of many penises.It does not require any treatment.
Rare possibility of septic spots(like pimples) is there if they are increasing in size or discharge from them. If there is nothing like, no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your concern. Feel free to discuss further.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for clear image.
Yes they are fordyce spots.Only 2 big spots on head of penis need to be examined for confirmation if they change in size(increase), itch or discharge.Probably few spots have combined and made bigger bumps.
No need to worry. You can become sexually active without any problem.
If you want to remove the same for cosmetic purpose, you can visit dermatologist and discuss about removal with laser therapy.
All the best.
