Symptoms can include rash, itchy skin, pimples, or pustules around a hair follicle. It’s an infection caused by a pathogen that gets in through damaged hair follicles, which can be caused by tight clothing, shaving, or the blockage of a hair follicle. Folliculitis is the infection and inflammation of hair follicles.But, it may be helpful to keep in mind that treatment isn’t often advised because of the potential side effects. They’re harmless and pretty common, though treatments are available for folks concerned about aesthetics. And to answer your question, Reader #2, hair can grow on the shaft of the penis, though most often just near the base.

You'll most likely see hair growing from them (if not now, then soon!). They can be found in multiple places around the body, including near the base of the penile shaft and scrotum.

These glands secrete oily substance (called sebum) to lubricate the skin and hair. Fordyce spots are a fancy name for visible sebaceous glands.Excluding any typical STIs that may cause bumps or changes in the skin of the genital area, there are a few conditions that have similar characteristics to the ones each of you have described, including: Without a diagnosis from a medical professional, it’s unclear exactly what the penis bumps may be. However, it may be wise to talk with a health care provider any time you’re concerned about changes with your body. Due to the lower-risk you’ve all described, the mystery bumps likely fall into the 'non-problematic' camp. If you know what’s normal for your penis, you'll be more likely to notice changes that might warrant further investigation. So, being aware of how your penis typically looks and feels is a healthy habit, even before you’ve had much (if any) exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The human body comes in many different sizes, shapes, and textures. My question to you is: Exactly how "normal" are these bumps and how common? Do all males have them? When I went to the "Doc," I was told they were normal and fine. They are very similar to the bumps I've noticed on girls' nipples. Since I can remember, I've had many bumps (small lumps under the skin) covering the underside shaft of my penis, as well as my scrotum. I have never had sex so I know it cannot be an STD. I am only 14 and am going thru puberty, so I want to know if the pubic hair grows onto the penis, or just stays on the bottom (mine are only on the bottom). I would be thankful for any help or advice you can offer.Īfter examining my penis in the shower, I realized that I have small bumps (all the same size) on the bottom of my penis shaft. I am still a virgin so I don't see how I could have an STD.

They look almost like goosebumps, but they are always there. The bumps do not look like herpes or genital warts. I have some small bumps near the base end of my penis and on my scrotum.
