Suggest Treatment For Small Bumps On The Penis Shaft

i Have had these bumps pop up on my penis shaft. I have had them for about a month they come and go but never disappear completely they are in sections on in a line on the top of my penis and another section on the side kinda clustered together. They dont hurt really but 2 weeks ago i had stomach pains and diarrhea and now i have a really bad cold and head aches. The bumps are very small and raised. I either think its herpes or moncallousim contagious (dont know the correct Spelling) can some one please help

Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on your statement I would say that you have multiple small Sebaceous Cysts over shaft of the penis .

The penile skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.

Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)
