What Causes Bumps On The Penis Head?
Question: I have a few issues with my penis. I am 19 have never had sex and am deeply concerned. I seem to have a few raised bumps on my penis head. They slightly resemble possibly tiny raised skin tags? There is one larger one that raised my concerns. I noticed these bumps a few months ago, they have not changed. They also do not itch burn or hurt. The other issue I have had since I was young was my urethra seems to have skin coming out of it. This does not affect my urination but I was just curious as to why it is there. Again no pain itching or burning. My third issue is i appear to have a scar on my penis. It has been there since I was very young. It does not hurt itch or burn however it does feel more sensative. Thank you, I plan on seeing my Gp but I would like to ask for peace of mind until then.

A direct view and certain tests will be needed.

Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
It's very thoughtful of you to have attached the photos.
Now you should get examined by an Urologist,to get the best view.
The sensation has to be checked directly.It can also be shown to a skin specialist.
Some blood tests need be done,to know the cause of the lesions.
1. blood routine,RBS,LFT,VDRL,HbsAg and HIV.

Maintain good penile hygiene and avoid moisture over the penis.
Avoid masturbation till the penis is examined.
These reports need to be shown to the GP.
