Ok. Before I explain it all, I just want to classify that I am a 17 year old boy and I have never had sexual intercourse OR oral intercourse of any kind yet so I think I can rule out STDs etc. I am also uncircumcised.

Basically, almost 3 months ago I noticed a bump on my penis shaft about half way down, on the underside of my penis basically beside the line running down the penis (the frenulum is it?) and it erked me. It felt like a hard bead beneath the skin and didn't hurt or cause discomfort, but I noticed it and it seemed to be raised so it was visible for me. I left it for a few weeks and finally got frustrated and started scratching at it, thinking that whatever was inside would react like a popped pimple. When I eventually opened the top of it, it bled a little and there was this fairly hard white beady stuff inside that poked out when I sort of forced it out the exit I made but it stayed connected in the actual skin if that makes sense? It was very like a root if that makes sense... I pulled it out as best I could and it seemingly came out but it was then hollow until it healed as a scab.

This same bump has stayed in the same spot but now it's not a scab, it's again like a bump under the skin that is raised. Other bumps have recently shown up (in the last month) on the other side of the frenulum AND sort of near the original bump. The one on the other side became a pimple (I don't even know if that's possible on the penis but it was definitely a pimple-like bump as it had a yellowy-tinge to it and was filled with pus when popped... and now it's sort of gone away)

But the other bumps have never gone away and I am now unnerved as they feel like little beads under the skin that won't go away... I know that they are the same as the bump I scratched at, because they have that same "root" look about them as though there is a white bumpy thing inside.

What do I have? What can I do? I'd rather not have to go to the Doctors or involve my family, (obviously if it's necessary I will, but until then I prefer to work this out myself if I can).

(This is a much more minor issue, but in case it's relevant, just the last 2 days I have noticed a faint line-shape on the shaft of my penis also that is skin coloured and very faint but its sort of a little bit raised and its not a vein, its almost perpendicular to the direction of veins and feels a little bit like a soft lump, but definitely not as hard or raised as the other bumps)

THANKS!

Healthyliving, what you had is an irriation from masturbating and I would suggest you leave them alone and they will go away in time. What you should not do is pick at them, that is opening your skin up for infection. If the area becomes red, and sore, I would visit your doctor.

Ms tickle

I got the same thing and I am scared as hell cause I don't knnow what to do... at least I know what it is now but is there any sort of ointment to cure it?
