What Do White Bumps Under The Penis Head Indicate?

Posted on Tue, 5 Aug 2014

Question: Hello, last week I noticed a "white head" looking thing just under my penis head, I poped it and then noticed a few days later 2 bumps on the right sidr of my penis by the base of the shaft. I tried to pop them and just got a lot of blood; however they seem yo be going away now (see image). now this week, I shaved and noticed another group of about 4 bumps. I also tried to pop them to days ago, once again, just lots of blood and a some clear stuff. 1 of them does appear to have a yellowish color. what do I have? and what over the counter stuff works on it?

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.

Based on photographs that you have uploaded it seems to be Herpes type 2 infection which is transmitted through contacts with infected person.

Please get basic test of secretions from lesion done to confirm the diagnosis.

In the mean while start taking antibiotics like Doxicycline and anti viral drugs like Acyclovir twice daily along with topical antiviral cream for local application.

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
