Hi , 16 year old here, I heard that there are some bad and not so bad cases of sebaceous prominence, well it feels like I have got it the worst, I must have over a 100 little white spots on my penis (and thats not exaggerating) and many more on my testicles. I've heard there is no cure at all for something that looks so ugly. So my question do they eventually fade in time or maybe disappear.
Also I would like to know can these little white spots be transmitted by touch, for instance, if I am masturbating and touch some of them can they be spread if I accidentally touch a smooth part of my penis?

Sebaceous prominence is not contagious and transmittable in any way and they can’t be spread from one place of the body from another. You probably heard of foliculitis. These bumps can be spread from one place to another by dirty hands but this is probably because they are infected by bacteria. Sebaceous prominence is not an infection.
It is true there isn’t any treatment and I think that they might go away on their own, maybe when you get out of the puberty. However, it is said that usually more and more appear (on their own, not by spreading) but I guess you already went through that part.
I also have sebaceous prominence, all over my shaft and they are only visible when I stretch my foreskin but it is also normal to have them in scrotum, because you have hairs there as well. I don’t mind them because I know they are normal and I got used to them over the years, but I was as upset as you are now. Don’t squeeze them as it will only hurt and you won’t benefit from it.

i have had sebaceous prominance ever since i was about 14 and i worried about them constantly it very nearly destroyed my life because i wanted nothing to do with the opposite sex at all because of it,and people assumed that i was gay which i,m not.my self esteem and confidence dropped and i became withdrawn and introverted and remained a virgin till i was 30,although i,d been to the docs twice with this problem i still didn,t know what they were until recently when i visited the docs for a third time and was told that they are normal.in the end though i felt that i wasn,t going to let this ruin my life and took the bull by the horns and got myself a girlfriend at first she was a bit bemused by them and thought they were warts but now excepts them as normal and i now have two beautiful children,so dont let them ruin your life accept them dont be embarrased by them and start enjoying your life!
u got some guts, how is your intimate life? does your gf is willing to cooperate with your device that has bunch of spots?
we are doomed, those white spots leave us with regular basic sex.
People tell u to be brave and go get a girl and hope she won't notice. The intimate life thats what countss the most atleast for me instead of geting a girl and marrying her then have kids and lve happy life thats b.s.
AS we young people we want to experience the pleasures of intimate life.
White spots have turn off on the partner and you might find yourself with regular sex that turns into routine :-(

I started to get sebaceous prominence when I was around 23. I am now 34. As a teenager i had very bad acne and scars have now been left on my face and back.
at 22 I met a girl and went out with her for about a year and a half. She was the 1st one I had a sexual relationship with. Mind you before her I never masturbated. However, with the stress of university and being newly introduced to sex i masturbated often, not cleaning the area after. Again, at the end of the relationship I developed these small bumps all over the shaft of my penis and scrotum. In the hundreds like yourself. Shortly after she noticed, the relationship ended. However, I can't say for sure if this was the cause because our relationship was more physical than anything. We really had nothing in common.
The reason I mention the above experience is like many I am scared to death to get involved with another woman. It's been over 10 years since I've been intimate and have turned down a few pretty women during this time period.
Anyways, I hope you find a cure or treatment to a point that will build your self-esteem up again. I in the meantime will be trying to find some remedies on my own to try to reduce these ugly little things. Even probably going to return to the Dermatologist to see if there is anything new on the market.
My best advice I've heard in the last week in reading all the stories people are going through with this problem is make sure you eat healthy and keep the area as clean as possible so no more pores will get clogged.
Remember, stay strong!! You never know when somebody might find a treatment.
And if one isn't found I've also read some stories like you probably have of men marrying even though they suffer the same condition.

Sebaceous prominence isn't a penile disorder. Just like some people are fat, some thin there are also different penises. Shapes, sizes, some of them have bumps others don't. Nothing to be ashamed of.
If she doesn't accept who you are then she's probably not worth while. I have a girlfriend for about 6 months now and I DO have sebaceous prominence. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it (sometimes, it's a turn on because of the feeling when she slides them up and down :-D).
Don't worry and try to feel confident about yourself. Chicks dig that.

I am now 28 years old and I discovered my condition about 10 years ago. To date, I have never found the condition to be a detractor from my personal or physical life. I guess if I wanted to make a movie or take a close up picture, it would be extremely noticeable, but no women have afforded it a second thought. Given that we know about this irregularity in our glands, it is easy to explain to a girlfriend or fiance. In fact, my self awareness and body knowledge has been a source of strength if I have met somebody who found this particular characteristic to be slightly strange. Among most intelligent, beautiful, and honest women, this will not be an issue.
Hey I have something like sebaceous prominence im not sure if its it or not. I got white pimples (i mean they look just like white head pimples) on my shaft, more and more are forming as weeks past. I also have pimples from my belly button down towards the shaft(same time they showed up on shaft, on belly). I don't have to stretch the skin to see them, i see them plain as day. im nervous about it and wondering if any of you guys viewing this content can help me out here.
I'm pretty sure I have the same problem I have asked the doctor he looked at it said it was normal. yes I had it before sex ive had it since 15 and have been a little insecure but hey just explain it if a girl asks. ive screwed 8 girls and im 21 now. My ex asked what they were and one other random, they both seemed to notice when they gave me a bj but i explained it and they didnt mind even though i felt as though i couldn't help thinkin they would think i had an std. no girls have gave me trouble. my advice ive never been shy and ive just gone for it, who gives a sh*t what they think as long as ur scoring lol. all though i still would love to be rid of them ive got to deal with them. But hey all you guys out there that have sebaceous glands blocked dont let it hold you back just be confident and get out there.
I had SP too, until I got a bacterial urinary tract infection. I was on some heavy antibiotics for a few weeks which cured my infection. I also noticed that my SP went away! I was so happy, but after I stopped the antibiotic treatment, they came back again after I started having sex with a new partner. Oh well... I assume bacteria have something to do with the problem, but since they came back it's not a cure.
Overall, my partner doesn't really like them much, but since it's not an STD she's gotten used to them. Plus, look on the bright side, like a studded condom, I have a studded penis, lol, giving more pleasure to the woman! Penises and vaginas aren't the best looking body parts, and during sex, apart from oral, you don't really focus on their appearance.
Good luck with your sex lives!

Hi everybody, thought I should share my experience too if it'll help anyone...
I've had SP since puberty (13 maybe), I'm now 35. Back then I had no idea what it was, went to the doctor a few times and kept being told it was normal and not to worry about. Easier said than done!
Anyway, at Uni I met a lovely girl and decided just to go for it. We had a conversation about them once - I said that they were just prominent hair follicles and that was just the way I am - it didn't bother her one bit! If you find yourself a nice girl who likes you for who you are it seriously won't be a problem. Just avoid one night stands, they prob won't go so well! haha
Anyway, i've had numerous girlfriends since and I'm single again and have just started seeing a new girl - it hasn't got physical yet but I have no fear at all about it anymore.
Accept it and get on with it - I guarantee there are countless guys out there living happy lives with SP without giving it a second thought. I'm one of them, it really isn't an issue!
Good luck everybody

Just thought I'd put my 2 cents in on this whole ordeal. I have had SP on my testicles since about 13 years old and never even thought anything about them until I read this. I would like to say I had a pretty sex filled year when I was 18, hooking up with around 25-30 girls and not a single one ever said anything or to my knowledge even noticed. If you staying away from sex just bc of your SP, DON'T!!! If you are just confident in yourself and just go for it like you don't have it or as if everybody has it you will have no problems getting intimate with any woman you come to meet no matter how beautiful she is. So step up be a man and just do it!!!
iu got hem like 6 years ago and i almost got them away when i started washing my hands and shaft before and after jerkin
People on these threads have to stop being such pussys and go get some instead. I'm 17 and I've been with numerous girls and only 1 has noticed. You know what I said? I said it was a skin reaction to putting baby powder on my nads to prevent swamp ass and told her it was nothing she had to worry about and we proceeded. I never thought of my sp as much of a problem until I started reading these threads. I mean come on you have no choice in the matter make the best of it.
I have this too. I cannot remember how long ago it was since I got then but probably around 12. I'm 16 now and I'm sill a virgin. I an currently imnn a relationship but I am afraid to tell my gf. Does anyone know how long it'll be before they go away?
