What Could Cause White Bumps On The Penis After Intercourse That Lasted For A Short Time?
I am a 33 year old male and had intercourse with a female a few weeks ago. 2-3 days after, I noticed 4 round and white bumps on my penis shaft. At first I thought they might be genital herpes but they never blistered, I even tried to open them but they were solid and hard the entire time. THey were only approximately 1 mm in diameter, and one looked more like a skin tag. They didnt cause any itching or burning or discomfort, they simply were white and raised with one looking slightly different. They disappeared after a week. You any idea what they might be

Hello,
They could be Fordyce spots that are harmless. However, your symptoms are indicative of cysts. Cysts are often hard and don’t cause pain when touched. Cysts are larger and appear alone. Treatment of cysts that are not STD related is commonly drainage and excision, and are treated with antibiotics. However, you are advised to get clinically examined by a urologist, Get STD tests done.
Bumps from STDs are soft and may burst or cause pain when you touch them. Bumps associated with herpes and other STDs like HPV often appear in clusters of small bumps and may recur after they disappear. If the bumps are STD related you will be treated with antibiotics and antivirals.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
