Whiteish pimples on shaft of my penis?

Asked Nov 9, 2007, 10:04 AM — 10 Answers
Hi I am 16 years old and have never had any sexual activity apart from masturbation. I have small pimples on the shaft of my penis, mainly at the bottom and a few underneath the foreskin but they aren't very significant compared to the ones on the shaft. I would like to find out if it is anything to worry about before going to the doctor because my mum works at the surgery and I am too embarrassed to tell her.
I would very much appreciate any information and advice people could give me. Thanks.

If they start to leak or hurt or if they persist a long time, you should definitely see a doctor. It may be skin irritation, ingrown hair, body acne, or perhaps an infection.. But there's nothing to be embarrassed about, especially if you're not sexually active, and it's not an std or sti.

Thanks for the advice, they don't hurt or leak but they have been there for ages now, should I go to the doctors?

Thanks

I would suggest going to the doctors, honestly, if they haven't gone away for a while. Just explain that you are not sexually active, your parents will not be angry if you are honest with them, and they won't mind taking you to a doctor, nothing to be embarrassed about.

Hey.. I posted some time ago about this subject too..

I also have those dots.. They are bigger on the beginning of the shaft and get smaller towards the head - there they are gone. Also there are more on the down side of the shaft..
Is that right?

I hope it isn't something serious too..

Best Regards

Yeh sounds similar, how long have you had them and have they begun to disappear?

Well I have had them for quite long now.. Maybe more but I noticed them like 6 months ago I don't remember. But no. They don't want to go away. Could it be masturbating?

Masturbation won't give you any whitish pimples, if you do it enough it may cause skin irritation and redness, but not really any other issues.

Guys sounds like fordyce spots. I have the same problem. Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordyce%27s_spot

It's actually pretty common among men.
