    Symmetrical bumps either side of penis seam
    I have a pair of hard lumps that are right next to each other on either side of the seam that runs underneath the penis (The raphe line I think) like little seeds underneath the skin. There are a few other pairs of bumps but they are smaller and less noticeable. The bumps are not red or painful and when squeezed occasionally a hard pus comes out. I am scared because the bumps look like an STD and I am a virgin. It is strange because the lumps are perfectly parallel to each other and run almost straight, verticle down the raphe line. If you have seen it before you will know what I mean.

    Here is a brief summary of bumps that can be found on the penis but are not an std. they are often mistaken for an std.

    YOU SHOULD STILL GET A DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS!
    Sebaceous glands and penile papules:

    Sebaceous glands and penile papules are often mistaken for STDs, but they are not sexually transmitted. Sebaceous glands are usually attached to hair follicles, but can also appear on hairless areas of the body, such as the penis. The glands release a fatty substance called sebum on to the surface of the skin, which may give the appearance of a rash.

    Pearly penile papules are often mistaken for genital warts but are in fact a physical variation found in many men. Papules appear around the head of the penis as small, dome-shaped bumps, which may be skin-coloured.
