How To Remove Lumps On Shaft Of Penis And Testicles?
Hey, I'm a 19 year old male, and I have small lumps along the shaft of my penis and testicles. They've been there for as long as I can remember, and produce a white substance when squeezed, like acne. Some of the lumps expand to be larger than others, and these ones can be painful for a period of time before bursting and emptying itself of the fluid. I have read up on the symptoms and they seem likely to be fordyce spots, how accurate does that sound, and how may they be removed? Thank you.

Hi. These sound like sebaceous cysts.
They usually cause no problem
They can however be removed surgically as other modalities do not offer cure.
You could send me a picture so I can get a better idea as to the exact diagnosis.
Take care.
