What Causes Tiny Bumps At The Edge Of Penis Head?
I'm an 18-year-old male, not sexually active, virgin. I have good hygiene, shower at least 3 times a week. But I suspect I have some sort of penis infection. There is no pain or itchiness, but only those microscopic bumps at the edge of my penis's head, which worry me. They're mainly on top, but I have a little on the bottom as well. I'm also uncircumcised. Can you please help me what to do?

Hello,
As per your explanation, it is Pearly penile papules. They are not contagious or harmful. They are not related to any sexual activity either. They go away on their own just give some time, no worries.
Do take care of your hygiene & avoid food that causes you allergy. Wear cotton clothes for a couple of days. If it worries you then you can get circumcised as PPP commonly occurs in uncircumcised people.
However, if you are comfortable there is no need for it. Other ways to get rid of them are Cryo or laser surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
