Hi guys I am 14 years old and the past couple of days I have noticed something very strange on my penis. I have shaved before once maybe a month ago and lately I have these white bumps that are skin colored and are all over the shaft of my penis anyone know what this could be? Am too weirded out to tell my paretns and don't know what to do if anyone could share some info or advice would be extremely helpful!
Hi Guest,
Look up "fordyce spots."
They are normal and very common.
Thankyou so much how long does it take til they usually go away? And so they're not harmful in any way?
They don't go away. You can try to have them removed but it is not always successful.
They are COMPLETELY harmless and as I said, VERY common.

What treatment options are there have heard many conflicting reports that they go away if you clean and leave alone some say they don't go away also how common would you say they are say out of 10 friends how many would have it?
The problem is that they are like a sebaceous (oil) gland. It's not like it's a wart or pimple.
Laser removal can be successful. There are also some medications that may reduce them. The problem with these is the location, your penis, has very thin skin.
See your doctor or a dermatologist for an evaluation.
